Description

This centrally located mixed-use property presents a rare and compelling development opportunity in the thriving coastal town of Louisburgh, along Ireland's renowned Wild Atlantic Way. Occupying a high-profile position with strong street frontage and excellent footfall, this strategic site is primed for redevelopment, expansion, or reconfiguration— subject to planning permission. The existing structure comprises a generous ground floor commercial unit and a self contained first-floor residential component, offering a substantial footprint for those seeking to create a vibrant mixed-use development. Its adaptable layout, dual access points, and rear yard with roller shutter entry present multiple avenues for value enhancement, whether through full-scale redevelopment, subdivision into multiple units, or transformation into a modern live-work scheme. Currently in use as a retail premises with cold storage and stock management zones, the commercial space could be reimagined as a boutique retail hub, food and beverage destination, or co-working space. The upstairs—with its private entrance and flexible layout—is ideally suited for conversion to short-term holiday accommodation, long-term rental units, or even as staff housing for a future commercial venture on-site. Crucially, the location offers long-term growth potential. Louisburgh enjoys consistent local demand and seasonal tourist influxes due to its proximity to major natural attractions such as Carramore Beach, Old Head, and Silver Strand. With limited availability of centrally located, mixed-use sites in the region, this property is uniquely positioned to capitalize on increasing demand for flexible, multi-purpose spaces. Whether you're a developer seeking your next high-return project, an investor pursuing asset repositioning opportunities, or a visionary buyer ready to create something special in a destination town—this property represents a strategic acquisition with significant upside potential in one of the West of Ireland's most desirable coastal communities. Set along Ireland's famed Atlantic coastline, Louisburgh is celebrated for its breathtaking natural beauty, most notably its collection of pristine beaches. From the crystal-clear waters to the spectacular coastal scenery, local gems such as Old Head, Carramore, and Bertra Beach offer endless opportunities for swimming, walking, and outdoor adventure. Just a short drive away, the renowned beaches of Killadoon—ranked among the best in Europe—further elevate the area's appeal. Only 6km from the town lies Roonagh Pier, the gateway to the enchanting offshore islands of Clare Island and Inishturk—two of the West of Ireland's most scenic and tranquil destinations. Whether your interests lie in walking, hiking, cycling, or simply soaking in the surrounding beauty, the Louisburgh area features a variety of established trails, all set against a backdrop of striking landscapes. Just 22km away, Westport—a designated heritage town by Fáilte Ireland—offers a perfect blend of history, culture, and charm. Designed in the 18th century by the renowned architect James Wyatt, it is one of Ireland's few planned towns. Today, it stands as a leading tourist destination, with standout features such as the tree-lined boulevard of The Mall, which runs gracefully alongside the Carrowbeg River. For those who enjoy scenic drives, the area does not disappoint. Picturesque routes include the northern journey to Achill Island (via Westport and Newport), the northeast route to Ballycastle and the Céide Fields (through Castlebar and Pontoon), or the eastern drive to Tourmakeady and Lough Nafooey (via Westport, Tourmakeady, and Leenane). Each offers a unique perspective on the region's diverse landscapes and rich heritage.
