Colleran Auctioneers presents this exceptional residential development opportunity on the highly sought-after Clybaun Road in Knocknacarra, one of Galway's fastest-growing and most desirable suburbs. Extending to approximately 0.565 hectare (1.39 acres ), the site occupies a prominent position roughly 200 metres south of the Athy Roundabout on the Western Distributor Road.
Rectangular in shape and bounded by block walls on three sides, it is zoned Residential and sits centrally within an established urban area, surrounded by a number of mature residential developments. Its proximity to existing services should further assist future development, and it represents an outstanding opportunity to bring forward a quality residential scheme, subject to the necessary planning permission.
The potential here is significant. Knocknacarra has become one of Galway's most popular places to live, and demand for new family homes in the area continues to outstrip supply. A site of this scale, in such an established setting, offers a rare chance for a developer to deliver much-needed housing in a location families are already actively seeking.
The wider area has plenty to recommend it. Knocknacarra offers an excellent range of schools, neighbourhood shopping centres, sporting facilities, parks, and healthcare services, all valued highly by families. The nearby shopping centres, Clybaun Hotel, supermarkets, cafes, and restaurants are all close at hand, while Salthill Promenade, Barna village, and Galway city centre are just minutes away. The Western Distributor Road also provides excellent transport links to University Hospital Galway, University of Galway, Parkmore Business Park, and the city's other major employment centres.
With its generous size, residential zoning, established surroundings, and standout location, this site presents a rare opportunity to deliver a high-quality residential development in one of Galway's strongest housing markets, subject to planning permission.
The property is for sale by tender, with a closing date of 12 noon on October 8, 2026. Tender documents are available from William Sandys Solicitors, 12 The Crescent, Galway.
