Description
C.0.48 Acre Site for sale in Umlagh, Carrigart subject to planning permission. This site is within walking distance of Micky Joe`s Country store, Chapel, Primary School and Community Hall. One mile for Carriagrt and just off the main Carrigart to Creeslough road.Situated to the right hand side of F92 CR24. A great chance for a self builder, a young family wanting to put down roots, or an investor seeking land in a friendly rural setting. This appealing plot of land extends to around 0.48 acre and offers a wonderful setting for those who want to design and build a home that suits their life. Subject to planning permission, the site gives buyers the freedom to create a property that works for modern living while still enjoying the calm and charm of a rural community. The land sits in a pleasant position just off a well used local road, giving easy access while still feeling quiet and private. The shape and size of the site allow good space for a comfortable home along with outdoor areas that can grow with the needs of the buyer over time. The plot offers the kind of balance many buyers hope to find. There is enough acre space to allow for a well planned home layout, along with room for parking, outdoor seating areas and a generous garden. Families may picture children playing safely outside, while those moving from a town setting may enjoy the chance to grow plants, keep a small vegetable patch, or simply enjoy the open feel that land provides. Buyers who dream of a rural lifestyle often look for land that feels connected to a community, and this site offers exactly that. Because the land is offered subject to planning permission, it provides the opportunity to create something personal. Some buyers may wish to design a traditional style home that fits well with the countryside setting, perhaps with touches of period or cottage inspired character. Others may prefer a modern layout with large windows that bring light into living spaces and connect the inside of the home with the surrounding garden and countryside views. The site size also allows flexibility in design, meaning future owners can think carefully about how their home will sit within the land. When planning a home on a site of this size, many buyers choose to focus on bright living areas that face the garden so the home feels open and welcoming. A kitchen with plenty of space for cooking and dining often becomes the heart of the house, where family and friends gather. From there, doors could open directly onto the garden, making it easy to enjoy summer evenings outdoors. A comfortable sitting room could look out across the land, creating a calm place to relax after a busy day. Buyers who work from home may also see the benefit of including a quiet office space within their design. The site also offers the potential for useful extras depending on planning approval and design choices. Some self builders choose to include a garage or even a double garage so there is plenty of room for cars, tools or storage. Others might consider a workshop or hobby space within the land, something that is often difficult to find in more built up areas. With nearly half an acre to work with, the opportunity to shape the space around a future home is part of the appeal. Outside, the land offers plenty of potential for a large garden that grows and changes with the seasons. Families may see space for swings, football goals, or a safe lawn area for children to play. Garden lovers might enjoy the chance to plant trees, flowers, or hedging that gives colour and privacy over time. Some buyers may even consider keeping a small greenhouse or raised beds for growing food. Having your own land allows a level of freedom that many buyers are now seeking, especially those looking to move away from busy urban environments. The rural setting adds to the sense of space and calm. Fields and countryside nearby help create a peaceful backdrop for daily life. For many people, the chance to wake up in a rural area while still being close to local services is a key reason to choose land like this. The setting supports a slower pace of life while still allowing easy access to nearby villages and local facilities. For buyers thinking about long term plans, a site like this can also hold strong future appeal. Land in well regarded rural areas often attracts continued interest from self builders and families looking for space. That means the site could suit someone planning to build straight away, or someone who wishes to secure land now and develop in the future once planning is approved. The surrounding countryside also adds character to the opportunity. Rural locations often bring a sense of openness that is hard to match elsewhere. Quiet roads, fresh air and scenic views can become part of everyday life. Those who enjoy walking, cycling or simply spending time outdoors often feel drawn to areas where land and nature are part of the setting. At the same time, the site remains closely linked to a welcoming local community. One of the strongest features of this location is that several important amenities are within comfortable walking distance. This helps the land appeal not only to self builders but also to families who want to feel connected to local life. Being able to walk to local services creates a sense of belonging and makes day to day living more convenient. The nearby country store provides an easy place to pick up everyday essentials without needing to travel far. Local shops like this often become part of the social life of a rural area, where neighbours meet and chat as they go about their day. For many buyers, having a trusted local store close by adds to the comfort of rural living. A local chapel within walking distance is another valued part of the community. Places like this often play an important role in bringing people together for events, celebrations and gatherings. For buyers who value a strong sense of local connection, this kind of nearby facility can be a meaningful part of choosing where to build a home. Families with children will also appreciate the presence of a nearby primary school. Being able to walk or take a very short journey to school can make daily routines far easier. It also helps children grow up feeling part of the community around them. Parents often place strong value on locations where education is close to home, and this setting provides that benefit. The nearby community hall adds another layer of local life. Community halls in rural areas are often used for events, activities, sports groups and gatherings throughout the year. From local meetings to seasonal celebrations, these places help create the friendly atmosphere that many people seek when moving to the countryside. Just a short distance away lies the village centre, which offers further services and amenities. Having a village close by means residents can easily access cafés, small shops and everyday services while still enjoying the quieter feel of a rural address. This balance between countryside calm and village convenience is one of the reasons buyers are drawn to sites like this. The site also benefits from easy access to the main road linking nearby villages. This makes travel straightforward for work, school runs, or trips further afield. Good road connections help ensure that even though the land sits in a rural setting, it remains well connected to surrounding towns and coastal areas. For buyers who enjoy exploring the wider region, this location places them within reach of beautiful scenery and outdoor activities. The surrounding countryside is known for its natural beauty, with coastal landscapes, beaches and walking routes all within easy driving distance. This means weekends can be spent enjoying fresh air, scenic drives or relaxing days by the sea. People looking for land to build a home often search for three key things: space, community and convenience. This site brings those elements together in a natural way. The 0.48 acre plot provides enough land to create a comfortable home with a generous garden, while the nearby facilities help support daily life and a sense of belonging.
