Description

The Property: A meticulously restored coast guard house in a dramatic coastal setting. Located on the Wild Atlantic Way, adjacent to Ballycastle Pier, offering fine views over the bay to the now renowned Downpatrick Head Sea Stack. Built in the late 1800’s, this deceptively spacious building of over 7,000 sq.ft was restored & modernised in the early 2000’s. Care was taken to retain the period character yet cater for modern comfort and convenience. Extensive works included roofing, wiring, plumbing, flooring and window replacement among the many upgrades. Stella Maris makes a wonderful private house and due to the quality and extent of the accommodation also lends itself to a myriad of options for income potential. History: From construction by the British Admiralty, through some years of use as a convent, to a family home with apartments, to a small country house hotel, the building has an interesting historical narrative. Location: Situated less than 3km from Ballycastle village, Stella Maris, from its elevated position on the access road to Ballycastle Pier, has views across Bunatrahir Bay to Downpatrick Head and Sea Stack. Its location provides ready access to pristine beaches, ocean activities, walking pursuits, great golf with the championship links courses of Enniscrone and Carne 45 minutes away, historic sites, wilderness parks, art programs, an art museum, sea, trout & salmon fishing all within easy reach. Being located on the Wild Atlantic Way, this is a coastal paradise and the important Neolithic site Ceide Fields dating back 5,000 years is only minutes away.
