Now the land would not be the greatest and if a half a mile of it borders the Moy there is a pretty good chance some of it is pretty wet.
Now if good quality land is making 10k to 11k, the land around there should maybe be getting a couple of grand less.
Of course it depends if one or two of the neighbours want to get it or not.
If so the land could make the 10 to 11k.
Say they manage 10k an acre that works out 240,000 for land.
Now that means someone reckons the house is worth 360,000.
No way is that house in that location worth that.
Although the big selling point here is proximty to the river Moy.
Someone who is into their fishing and wants a bolthole to stay may go for this.
Added to that the house is only a few miles to Lough Conn and Callow Lakes for other fishing.nothing wrong with the west : I wrote that "Ye'd have to bring your bin out through the house. And its in the west, not the embassy belt of a capital city. 850k is still too much given the times we are in."
If a row of ordinary enough looking terraced houses is the address in Galway, what about the people who would like to live at an address where
Ye would not have to bring your bin / bicycle out through the front door of the house.
I'm sorry, I still think 850k is too much for an ordinary terraced house in Galway, (beautiful and all as Galway can be ), given the state of the economy etc. You can build a lovely new well insulated house for a couple of hundred k , and land should not be that expensive. Its not Hong Kong or Gibralter. We have plenty of land.
Listen I agree with you on the house.
And I know these houses, they probably date from 19th century and unless they have been updated over the years they need lot of work.
It is at bottom of Taylors Hill which used to be a very sought after Galway address.
There are better houses further up the hill.
My gripe was your remark that this was in the WEST and how Longford would be comparable to Galway.
They may only be 50/60 miles in distance, but they are light years apart in terms of demand.
Now if you will excuse me while I go and hide from some Longford people.

That is a fvcking monstrosity of a house!
To me that hosue is actually an old one bedroom cottage out front linked to a shed on the right and linked to an old two storey barn/storehouse at the back.
If only he had a hay shed he could have completed the job.

It's a typo. On collapso went from 450k to 3,950,000. Started at 500k 1 year ago and dropped twice since then to the now Great Value 395,000. But at that price it would still make our list!0 -
