An 82.06ac holding is for sale north of Spiddal, Co Galway. The property at Seanadh Gharráin is being sold by DNG Martin O’Connor Land Sales.

According to the agents, the land was previously part of the Killanin Estate in Spiddal and is a special habitat with scrub land, wetland and remnants of an ancient Atlantic temperate rainforest with rich biodiversity. As a result, the property could be of interest to a college or State institution as a base for research, according to the auctioneers.

It could be used for nature restoration or for an organisation’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) responsibilities.

The land is bordered to the west by the Boluisce River and it has views of Galway Bay. It is for sale by private treaty and the guide price is €150,000.
