Mayo, F23EA44<\/p>\n<p>A slice of\u00a0history is going under the hammer this month as a former Garda station in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ireland-live.ie\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Irish<\/a> countryside hits the market with a guide price of just \u20ac125,000 ahead of auction later this month.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The striking two-storey building in Muckanagh, Glenisland, Co Mayo dates back to the late 1800s, and is built from hand-cut red sandstone and still retains many of its original features. Once a working Garda station, it now stands as a detached Georgian-style residence with plenty of scope for conversion, subject to planning.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayonews.ie\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><\/p>\n<p>Set on 0.37 acres, the property is surrounded by mature trees and overlooks Lough Beltra and Nephin, offering a stunning backdrop for anglers, hillwalkers, and anyone seeking to experience the wild beauty of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayonews.ie\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mayo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Inside, the former station measures over 1,000 square feet and features five rooms, including one equipped with a kitchenette and bathroom facilities, along with timber floors and other period details. Outside, there&#8217;s a gated entrance, a large yard with ample parking, and stone outbuildings to the rear.<\/p>\n<p>With exemption from stamp duty and a setting just 20km from Castlebar and within easy reach of Westport and Newport, this old Garda station offers buyers a rare chance to own a unique piece of local heritage. The property will be sold by live-streamed auction on Friday, September 19.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ireland-live.ie\/news\/arts---entertainment\/1889984\/veteran-rte-star-s-exit-sparks-frenzy-over-possible-replacements-with-frontrunner-revealed.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" style=\"color: #800080;\">READ MORE |\u00a0Veteran RT\u00c9 star&#8217;s exit sparks frenzy over possible replacements with frontrunner revealed<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"USE THE ARROWS OR &#8216;NEXT&#8217; TO BROWSE THROUGH THE FULL GALLERY Former Garda Station, Muckanagh, Glenisland, Castlebar, Co.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10388,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[45,3664,61,60,8764,10723,10724,80],"class_list":{"0":"post-10387","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-an-garda-siochana","9":"tag-daft-ie","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-ireland","12":"tag-mayo","13":"tag-property-gallery","14":"tag-property-watch","15":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10387","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10387"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10387\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10388"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10387"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10387"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10387"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
