LOUGH RUSHEEN HOUSE is a luxurious five-bed home that might just be the epitome of the phrase ‘the best of both worlds’.
The property sits in complete seclusion on the west coast, surrounded by 23 acres of private land – but it’s just 6km from Galway city.
According to the Irish Times, Lough Rusheen House was a former riding stables, bought by a Carlow-based family who renovated and extended it.
The property now covers 457 sq m, has its own guest wing and is on the market for €3,500,000.
Upon entering, a tiled porch leads to the bright and airy hallway with solid wood parquet flooring, and a wide staircase. Head on up and the staircase wraps around to a landing leading to four of the five bedrooms.
An open plan kitchen takes advantage of the Barna Bay views and combines classic and modern design flawlessly. The formal dining space and traditional seating contrasts with the sleek design of the kitchen island and granite work surfaces.
Large windows and folding doors in the living area let you put your feet up and enjoy the great outdoors from the comfort of the lounge. And don’t be surprised if you see a flock of swallows passing by in the skies outside – the site itself sits in an area known to be a migratory path for birds.
The folding doors open out to the patio and BBQ area, perfect for al fresco entertaining in the warmer months.
Upstairs, there’s a mix of bedroom sizes. Two large bedroom suite have walk-in wardrobes and en suite bathrooms – and the master has corner windows with sea views. Two more bedrooms, plus one en suite bathroom and a family bathroom complete this floor.
Walk from the main house through a brightly lit hallway and you’ll find the guest wing, home to another bedroom and a self-contained kitchen, living area and bathroom, ideal for guests who value some privacy during their visit.
The patio is, of course, south facing and soaks up the views of the sea. Venture on and it’s not hard to stumble upon the walkways that meander throughout the grounds. Explore further and a bank of solar panels, a paddock and acres of lush gardens leave plenty of room to breathe.
Galway city is a mere ten minute drive away with a wealth of schools, shops, restaurants and bars, so even in your coastal retreat you’ll never be far from the action.
Lough Rusheen House, Road, Barna, Galway City Centre is on the market for €3,500,000 through Philip Guckian via Daft.ie.

Brilliant, any journalist that could read that story and not realise it was a joke after the point where they said they travelled at night to the sun… Should really take a look at the job they are doing
I have to say – this gave me a massive belly laugh….
Everyone should follow Waterford Whispers News, it’s guaranteed to make you burst out laughing a few times a day!! Utterly hilarious!!
Laughing at this from the dark side of the earth at the moment. Good one lads.
I was wondering who to blame for all this horrible weather. Spacecraft travelling to the sun has blocked out all the rays , thereby allowing copious amounts of rain to drown us . Hank you , Kim daft Jung
Well done to Colm Williamson, he has been doing a great job with WWN, there’s a very funny story on the facebook page pretty much every day. Fair play!
Funny stories at times on the site, agreed. But you only comment because it’s Waterford related. Weirdo.
Onwards comrades, there is nothing our great nation can’t achieve with the dear leader leading us
Everyone was talking about this lad night here in Calgary and I remember reading it on the Waterford whispers Facebook page, I had to question myself even will all the other stuff they post was this actually legit?? :-) I wouldn’t be surprised if the North Koreans actually believed that they attempted it! Gas
Nice swan Colm as always
It’s on the Sun, it must be true!
If that webshite is what passes for satire nowadays, then Mrs Brown’s boys must be the new curb your enthusiasm
Hi Dan, this is the Internet. Shut up and move on. Thank you…
To be fair, Niall; Dan is entitled to his opinion and poor sense of humour.

Colm Williamson is the funniest blackguarder in the country.
Are they going up at night?
Still, it’s no more preposterous than the claims of a certain country to have put, not just a man but several men on the moon! Will wonders ever cease?
Sounds legit where can I get a Labtop ?
Don’t worry guys. They went at night time.
Bravo Mr.Williamson et al. Bravo.
Loved the Paul Williams story too a few weeks back.
What a load of ill dung from the north Koreans
