About Lands, C. 49.47 Acres at Knockboy, Waterford City, Co. Waterford

Description

Lands at Knockboy, Dunmore Road, Waterford c.49.47 Acres / c.20.02 Hectares An outstanding opportunity to acquire an extensive landholding in one of Waterford City's most desirable and strategically important locations. Extending to approximately c.49.47 acres (c.20.02 hectares) in total, the property comprises approximately c.5.46 acres (c.2.21 hectares) of residentially zoned land together with approximately c.44.01 acres (c.17.81 hectares) zoned Agricultural / High Amenity under the Waterford City and County Development Plan 2022�2028. The lands occupy an exceptional setting at Knockboy, immediately adjoining the Dunmore Road and the forthcoming Castlecove residential development. Extending towards the River Suir, the property enjoys extensive water frontage and superb views across to Little Island, Waterford Castle Golf Club and the surrounding countryside. While the entire holding is being offered for sale in one lot, consideration may also be given to suitable proposals for the purchase of the residential and agricultural portions as two separate lots. Residentially Zoned Lands � c.5.46 Acres The residential portion extends to approximately 5.46 acres (2.21 hectares) and is zoned for residential development under the Waterford City and County Development Plan 2022�2028. The lands directly adjoin the new Castlecove residential development, where construction is due to commence shortly. Access to the subject lands will be provided by way of a new access road with services through Castlecove, creating a direct connection to the established Dunmore Road area. The location, zoning and proposed access combine to provide an attractive residential development opportunity in an area where demand for quality family homes is particularly robust. Agricultural / High-Amenity Lands � c.44.01 Acres The balance of the holding comprises approximately 44.01 acres (17.81 hectares) zoned Agricultural/High Amenity under the current Development Plan. These lands are laid out in a number of established divisions and are predominantly in agricultural use, with mature hedgerows and natural boundaries. The holding extends towards the River Suir and enjoys an exceptionally attractive waterfront setting, with panoramic views across the River Suir estuary towards The Island, Waterford Castle Golf Club and the wider countryside. The combination of productive agricultural land, extensive water frontage and a remarkably scenic setting makes this a particularly distinctive holding on the outskirts of Waterford City. The High Amenity designation seeks to retain the open character and environmental quality of such lands, with future uses and development subject to the relevant Development Plan policies and planning permission. Access Access to the lands is to be provided by way of a new access road via the adjoining Castlecove residential development, with services provided to that boundary point, connecting the property to the Dunmore Road and mains services. The proposed access represents an important strategic benefit, particularly for the residentially zoned portion, by integrating the lands with a planned new residential neighbourhood and the established infrastructure of Waterford's eastern suburbs. Full details of the proposed access arrangements, rights of way and associated services are available from sole selling agents DNG Reid & Coppinger.
