A G-whizz factor with view to boot

THE view is the star at this roadside, Roundstone, Co Galway property.

Roundstone is the G4 of the west, Galway’s equivalent of the Dublin 4 elite set: it is where they flock to, in their Beemers, SUVs with RIBs or boats in tow.

The setting is scenery personified, looking over water toward the Twelve Bens moody mountain range and the island Inishnee. Two separate piers create an embracing shelter for boats, and a painting challenge for artists at their easels.
