The property is perfectly located down the road from the historic Galway City, just far enough to have the tranquility and quiet that this house offers, while also having the convenience of being close to the finest restaurants, live music events and dozens of delightful Irish pubs, where music and lively conversation is at its best.

This beautiful house is perfectly located for all that the West of Ireland has to offer. Take a day trip to picturesque Connemara, with its rugged scenery of hills and lakes, perfect for off road cycling and hill walking. The Burren , The Cliffs of Moher and the pretty coastal villages like Kinvara and Roundstone, are within an hour's drive. The amazing Aran Islands, with their spectacular cliffs and the ancient Dun Aengus fort, are within a hour and a half from the house.

Galway, with its famous horse racing events, the arts and literary festivals is hugely popular with both native Irish people and visitors to Ireland alike. The wonderful seaside promenade - the longest in Europe, enjoyed every day by joggers and walkers - is located just down the road from the house. The panoramic sea views enjoyed while exercising on the promenade lifts the spirits by their sheer beauty.

Lots of superb golf courses have regular visitors from all over the world, and are within easy reach of the house.The closest to the house is the lovely 18 hole links course of Salthill, just one mile away.

There is plenty of game and coarse fishing, as you would expect in Ireland with its plentiful rivers and lakes. Lough Corrib, which opens into the sea via the river Corrib, is one mile from the house. Anglers from all over the world have enjoyed the famous salmon and trout fishing, in addition to coarse fishing, on these waters.

Nile Lodge has the most amazing location when it comes to enjoying all that Ireland has to offer, and Galway City itself is known to be the music capital of Ireland. Musicians love to live here and play in groups in the many sessions around the City.

The standard of the music is truly fantastic, and the only problem is getting to see as many as possible!

Nile Lodge is one of the most prestigious private houses in the City of Galway and has a wonderful, rich history, which is clearly visible in the house, showing details from Nelson's time through the past 200 years.

This beautiful house, built to the design suggestive of the bridge of a ship, originally had a sea view, stands on over an acre of private, mature, beautifully landscaped gardens which provide a wonderful green oasis within minutes of the center of Galway. There is a high-walled orchard to the rear of the property which is enjoyable for children and adults alike to enjoy space and privacy.

Note:

I am a family doctor. I see private patients, by appointment only, on the lower ground floor of Nile Lodge on some evenings and during the day on weekends.

It is a small practice and my consultation rooms have a separate entrance and are completely sectioned off both from the interior and exterior of the house.

I live nearby while the house is being rented.

Guests of Nile Lodge are very welcome in my consulting rooms during my normal hours of work, and can ring me directly on my mobile.

For convenience just across the road from the property is a small supermarket which has late opening. Also located nearby is the luxury grocery store Morton's of Galway as well as larger supermarkets.
