Description
This outstanding coastal opportunity is perfectly suited to self builders, lifestyle buyers or investors seeking to create a bespoke home in one of Donegal`s most desirable seaside settings, combining privacy, views and walkable convenience. Opportunities of this quality are rare and early enquiry is strongly encouraged. Set within an elevated rural coastal position, this freehold site offers an exceptional canvas for a thoughtfully designed single dwelling that takes full advantage of its surroundings. The land extends to approximately an acre in total, providing generous space to design a home that feels both private and connected to the landscape. From its position, the site enjoys a striking sea view across Downings Bay, where changing light, tide and weather create an ever shifting backdrop that adds depth and character to everyday life. The outline planning permission already in place allows a clear starting point for buyers, offering reassurance and direction while still leaving ample scope to shape a home that reflects personal style and long term needs. The gentle rise of the land lends itself well to a layout that maximises outlook and natural light, with the potential for open plan living areas that face the water and draw the outside in. There is ample room to incorporate outdoor spaces that work in harmony with the setting, whether that is a sheltered terrace, lawned garden or areas left natural to blend with the surrounding landscape. The sense of space here is a key attraction, allowing a future home to sit comfortably within its plot without feeling overlooked, while still remaining part of an established and sought after area. The rural feel brings peace and a slower pace, yet the site never feels remote, striking a balance that appeals to those who want calm without compromise. This is land that invites imagination, whether the vision is a contemporary coastal home or a more traditional design that reflects local character, all while enjoying the freedom that comes with building from the ground up. The location further elevates the appeal of this site, placing future owners within easy walking distance of Downings town and its wide range of amenities. Local restaurants, pubs and hotels are close enough to enjoy without the need for regular car journeys, supporting a relaxed coastal lifestyle where evenings out and social gatherings are part of everyday life. The nearby beaches offer space for walking, swimming and quiet reflection, making the most of the fresh sea air and open horizons. Rosapenna Golf Club Complex is also close by, adding to the lifestyle appeal and drawing visitors and residents alike to the area throughout the year. Despite its rural setting, the area is well connected, making it practical for both full time living and holiday use. The strong reputation of Downings as a coastal destination adds long term appeal, supporting the value of land and future development. This setting is ideal for buyers who want to enjoy the best of coastal living, combining sea views, community, leisure and convenience, all centred around a site that offers the rare chance to create a home that truly fits its environment.
