Description
A rare opportunity to acquire approximately 1.89 hectares (4.67 acres) of land in the highly sought-after Old Head area of Louisburgh, Co. Mayo. Occupying an attractive position, with frontage on to the main Westport Louisburgh Road (R335) and the local road to Old Head Beach, in one of the most desirable coastal locations in West Mayo, the property is situated within walking distance of the renowned Old Head Beach, with its beautiful sandy shoreline and spectacular views across Clew Bay. The land is being offered for sale subject to the purchaser obtaining planning permission, presenting an excellent opportunity for those seeking a potential residential site in this exceptional location. The lands extend to approximately 1.89 hectares (4.67 acres) and were planted with trees during the 1990s. The plantation is now well established and gives the property a mature, natural and private character. The existing trees and vegetation create an attractive woodland setting and, subject to the necessary permissions and appropriate management or clearance, offer considerable potential for a purchaser to create a distinctive property surrounded by the natural beauty for which the Old Head area is renowned. The generous acreage is a particularly appealing feature, providing space, privacy and the opportunity to develop a wonderful countryside setting while remaining close to the coast and local amenities. Old Head is one of the most sought-after coastal locations in the Louisburgh area, renowned for its magnificent beach, outstanding scenery and proximity to Clew Bay, Croagh Patrick and the surrounding mountains. The property is conveniently located approximately C.3.2 km from Louisburgh, a vibrant coastal town offering shops, cafés, restaurants, schools and everyday services. Westport is approximately C.18 km away, providing an extensive range of shopping, restaurants, leisure facilities and transport connections. With Old Head Beach within walking distance, this property combines the tranquillity of a mature rural setting with exceptional access to the coastline and the amenities of both Louisburgh and Westport. Land of this scale in the Old Head area rarely comes to the market. The combination of approximately C.4.67 acres, an established woodland setting, proximity to Old Head Beach and a highly desirable coastal location makes this an exciting opportunity for a purchaser wishing to create a home in one of County Mayo's most scenic settings. Sale is strictly subject to the purchaser obtaining the necessary planning permission for one residential dwelling from Mayo County Council. All measurements and distances are approximate and are provided for guidance purposes only. Intending purchasers should satisfy themselves as to the exact area, boundaries, planning requirements, services and all other matters relating to the property.
