Sweep of shore and bend of bay
Joint agents Property Partners Heaslips and Helen Cassidy auctioneers are offering a unique opportunity to acquire this charming, elegant, and exclusive country residence of extensive proportions. It is presented for sale in excellent decorative order and located in an area of outstanding scenic beauty boasting panoramic views out over the north shore of the famous fishing waters of Lough Corrib. Built on approximately 2.6 acres of mature gardens, beautifully landscaped and maintained to a very high standard over the years, Dapping Lodge was built 26 years ago by a Frenchman devoted to country sports in the west of Ireland. It was used as his shooting and fishing lodge, where he would usually spend the winter months shooting and the springtime fishing. The house has been owned in recent years by an Irish family which has derived tremendous value in terms of its location and sporting appeal. The interior of the house has been thoughtfully laid out to derive maximum benefit from the spectacular setting and views over the lake. Practically all of the rooms in the house enjoy lake and mountain views. Within a few minutes stroll from the residence is the property's own private fishing

Showhouse open at popular Boireann Bheag development
O'Malley Construction Company Limited recently launched phase one of its latest development situated in Boireann Bheag, Roscam, and has already sold in excess of 50 units of the plans. Eight different house types are available ranging from three bedroom terraced/semis up to five bedroom detached. Future phases will include apartments, duplex units, and townhouses. Boireann Bheag is located near O'Malley's previous Ros Caoin and Caiseal Cam developments. The site is highly elevated and many of the houses will take advantage of the breathtaking views of Galway Bay, the Burren, and the Oranmore/Renvyle coastline. The house designs, though individual, will involve high quality elevational features chosen by accomplished architects, McCrossan O'Rourke Manning, to compliment this unique setting. A major feature of the development will be the provision of almost seven acres of amenity lands available to local residents. This area will be completed and landscaped and will include walkways, tennis courts, all-weather pitches, adventure play area, water features, jog path and other amenities. Local wooded areas will also be provided together with seating and a number of sculptures will also be erected to compliment the facility. Other facilities recently completed at Roscam House include a supermarket, doctors surgery, pharmacy, etc. A purpose built creche is scheduled to open in July. This objective of providing homeowners with all amenities, facilities, and lifestyle requirements is one that O'Malleys seem to have mastered. For commuters, a dedicated bus area is being provided and the proximity to Galway's eastern road network will also be advantageous. The O'Malley hallmark of high quality finishings to both properties and common areas continue to impress owner-occupiers and investors alike. A showhouse in the development will be open to the public each Sunday from this Sunday for a period of six weeks from 2.30pm or by appointment.
