New Quay Real Estate is very excited to bring to the market this exceptional land holding of epic proportions extending to circa 139 acres with all the elements of a dream property rolled into one. Ever desired your very own piece of mountain, pristine river, glacial valley, native woodland, large substantial farmland, breath-taking ocean views, beautiful stone buildings, ancient sites and more? Ever imagined that all these elements could be available in one lot? Then here is the reality in one of the most beautiful locations on the West coast of Ireland. The Mountain Farm (C. 114 Acres) This truly unique land parcel extends to circa 114 acres and stretches east to west along the Caher valley. The property is bounded by the Caher river to the west and is extremely rare in that it is the only stable surface river in the Burren region with exceptionally high-water quality being naturally rock filtered from its source beneath the Burren Mountain of Sliabh Elva and then flowing through what is now the Caher Valley Nature reserve before meeting the property. This lower western section at Fermoyle Bridge comprises a combination of good quality open farmland along with a pocket of native woodland that would have previously housed a Herdman’s cottage the remains of which can be found within the riverside cluster of broadleaf trees. Access to the valley starting point of the Caher Valley Loop Walk & Green Road which takes you over the top of the mountain to spectacular open ocean views and directly down to Fanore Blue Flag Beach is directly opposite. On the upper eastern section, a vast tract of open grazing farmland, which includes further remains of a cottage settlement, rises to meet the Burren Mountain peaks and an elevation that affords an eagle's view of the spectacular surrounding valley, Galway Bay and the Twelve Bens Mountains in Connemara on the horizon sixty kilometres away. The most easterly portion includes Burren limestone shelf and the ancient Cathair an Aird Rois stone-age fort. The land parcel’s northern perimeter runs adjacent to part of the Burren Way which links the valley behind between the mountains of Gleninagh and Cappanawalla to the village of Ballyvaughan. The property's boundary comprises a series of stonewall and hedgerows and given that the land is dissected by the Wild Atlantic Way to N67 mountain road circa 750 metres of road frontage is afforded. The Coastal Farm & Homestead (C. 25 Acres) The very special route from the Mountain Farm, which forms part of the Caher Valley Loop Walk, tracks beside the gorgeous river as it meanders and cascades down the valley through deep rockpools and waterfalls before opening up to a jaw dropping ocean vista to where the Homestead & Coastal Farm can be found. Located on the oceanside of the Wild Atlantic Way the cottages and outbuildings, sites and land parcels extending to a total of circa 25 acres are ideally positioned to capitalise on the breath-taking Atlantic views and sunsets cradled by the Burren Mountain backdrop. The residential element, sitting on approximately 2 acres benefits from beautiful dry-stone cottages and outbuildings and while in need of complete renovation are bursting with potential. Also on-site is a mobile home with septic tank, poly tunnel and garden with numerous nooks and crannies and may present an opportunity for those who don't meet a local housing need to develop the site SPP. The adjacent land and coastal farm extend to circa 23 acres and benefits from over 650 metres of road frontage affording the possibility of multiple residential sites SPP. This amazing opportunity also includes an additional Wild Atlantic Way site in the immediate vicinity extending to 0.4 acres with the towering Burren mountain back drop and fantastic sea views to the west. A short stroll bypassing the main road brings you to Fanore’s Blue Flag Beach, one of the country’s premier top tier beaches, with its large expanse of golden sand, consistently achieving excellent water quality ratings and while popular is less crowded than other west coast beaches such as Lahinch and Kilkee. A further stroll down the road brings you to local services including the convenience store, fishing tackle shop and Donoghues pub for some hearty grub and a creamy pint of Guinness with a short 10-minute drive to the beautiful harbour village of Ballyvaughan offering even more amenities. The area is a fisherman’s and seafood lovers mecca home to multiple shellfish varieties from cockles, mussels, periwinkles, razor clams, oysters, brown crab, velvet crab, lobsters, along with fish varieties such as mackerel, bass, pollack, plaice, flounder, garfish to name a very few. Head back up the river to the rock pools for some wild brown trout from the pristine spring water of Sliabh Elva. Rock fishing from the spectacular outcrops of Burren limestone with annual angling competitions draws participants from near and far. Fanore serves as one of the central anchor points on the iconic Wild Atlantic Way, the world’s longest defined coastal touring route stretching 2,500 kilometres from north to south along the west coast. There is a purity about this part of the world from the landscape to the air quality, to the locally produced food, to the rivers and ocean and the people. Life operates at a different pace, and it is no surprise that people fall for this unique and spectacular landscape and keep returning year after year. It is a place that gives, what we believe, the ultimate energy fix and recharge for the soul. This is one of those rare properties that is an absolute pleasure to survey and can only be fully appreciated by a site visit to get a real picture of how truly special and unique it really is.
