Circa 0.6 acre site, Old Parish, Dungarvan, Co. Waterford

For Sale: Circa 0.6 Acre Site in the Heart of Old Parish, Co. Waterford Brian Gleeson Property is delighted to bring to market this unique site of approximately 0.6 acres, nestled in the picturesque Old Parish area of Gaeltacht na nDéise. Steeped in local history, the site was once the cherished garden of Minnie Daly, who cultivated vegetables, strawberries, raspberries, and gooseberries here in the mid-20th century. Living mostly “off-grid,” Minnie embraced the tranquillity of her surroundings — a lifestyle beautifully captured by her nephew, renowned Irish poet Fr. Pádraig J. Daly, in his poem taken from The Voice of the Hare. Minnie "You never let us swot a fly, But made us shoo them gently out of doors; You cupped your hands around spiders and lifted them To where they might more blithely string their webs; You captured wasps in a glass, Releasing them gently onto flowers; You taught us to attend to bees in overhanging branches, To grasshoppers in the windless meadows." A boreen behind the property connects to the nearby road and historically extended to the N25, following the course of the Licky River. This site offers an exceptional opportunity in a sought-after coastal location, just a short drive from the vibrant towns of Dungarvan and Ardmore. Nearby beaches — Ballyquin, Curragh, Ardmore, and Ballymacart — provide stunning scenery and outdoor enjoyment. The area is known for its welcoming, close-knit community and is within walking distance of Ballymacart National School, making it ideal for families seeking charm, nature, and accessibility.
