For Sale by Online Auction on Thursday 23rd October at 12 noon.  Extensive Landholding: c. 7.66 ha (18.9 acres) adjoining Blackwater Village.  Prime Coastal Setting: A few minutes’ drive from some of Wexford’s most celebrated sandy beaches.  Proven residential location close to established housing developments.  Strong Development Potential: Former planning (now lapsed) for 90 bed nursing home/retirement centre.  Excellent Transport Links: 15 minutes to Wexford Town, swift connection to the N11/M11 and to Dublin.  Village Amenities on the Doorstep: Shops, post office, school, church, GAA club, cafés and restaurants. Location This valuable c. 18.9 acre land holding occupies a superb position on the edge of Blackwater Village, a thriving coastal community combining village charm with remarkable connectivity. Daily conveniences—post office, supermarket, primary school, church, coffee shop, restaurants, public houses and GAA facilities—are all within a comfortable walk. The property is only a short drive from a string of spectacular sandy beaches including Ballyconnigar, Ballinesker and Curracloe, renowned for their wide strands and breathtaking sea views. These beaches provide outstanding opportunities for swimming, water sports and scenic coastal walks. Despite its relaxed seaside atmosphere, the area enjoys excellent road access. Wexford Town, with its full range of retail, business, cultural and transport services, is approximately 15 minutes by car. From Wexford, the N11/M11 connects quickly to the M50 around Dublin. This seamless road network makes both Dublin Airport and the capital city convenient for commuters, visitors and service providers alike. Residential expansion reinforces the location’s appeal: the newly commenced An Gortin Glass development lies close by, complementing several successfully completed housing schemes. This strong pattern of growth highlights ongoing demand for homes and services in Blackwater and adds to the long-term value of the holding.
