Bond villain’s west of Ireland retreat for €285,000

If you were to guess the name of this picture-perfect thatched cottage, complete with a stone guest cottage, in the countryside of Gort , Co Galway , the bright lights of Los Angeles may not be the first reference to come to mind.

Gotell, the German-born actor and British citizen, was best known as a Bond villain in the Roger-Moore-era of the franchise; from the late 1970s he played the recurring KGB leader General Gogol in The Spy Who Loved Me, Moonraker, For Your Eyes Only, Octopussy, A View to a Kill and The Living Daylights. He had previously appeared as a different villain, Morzeny, in From Russia with Love in 1963. His other well-known films include The African Queen , The Guns of Navarone and The Boys from Brazil.

The eat-in kitchen features farmhouse-style wooden units, with a door to the garden. There are three bedrooms on the ground floor, one of which features ceiling beams while another has a cast-iron fireplace, as well as the main bathroom. The fourth bedroom suite occupies the first floor with its own en suite shower room and a multi-person sauna.

This charming cottage offers much more than meets the eye, and is on the market through DNG O’Sullivan Hurley, seeking €285,000. With remote working an option for some, this property could well suit first-time buyers or downsizers who are looking to close their laptop at 5pm and enjoy the gorgeous surroundings. It would suit creatives looking for space to work, and those looking for space to cultivate their own fruits, vegetables and herbs on the grounds.
