Easkey, Co. Sligo, Easkey, Co. Sligo, F26D766

Prime mixed-use property in the heart of the picturesque Easkey village with endless potential, character, & coastal charm. A Piece of Easkey's History – The Formerly Lobster Pot Music House The River Rest presents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a substantial mixed-use property in the heart of the vibrant coastal village of Easkey, along the renowned Wild Atlantic Way. Formerly known as The Lobster Pot Music House, this iconic landmark was once a renowned pub, hotel and later café, occupying a central place in village life for generations. Located in the heart of Easkey along the Wild Atlantic Way, it welcomed locals, visitors and musicians alike, hosting memorable traditional music sessions with performers including Foster & Allen, Oisín, Tommy McManamon and Michael Noctor of The Juice of the Barley. The original bar still features its most remarkable centrepiece—a magnificent handcrafted stone fireplace, believed to be over 100 years old, which was carefully dismantled in Galway and rebuilt stone by stone in Easkey. A striking example of traditional Irish craftsmanship, it remains one of the property's defining features." The property also benefits from spacious seven-bedroom accommodation overhead, offering excellent potential for a wide range of commercial, tourism or residential ventures. Occupying a prime village centre position, the property is just around the corner from Easkey Pier and beach, one of Ireland's best-known surfing destinations, along with the historic Easkey Castle. Surrounded by spectacular coastal scenery and with a caravan park to the rear, this energetic village attracts visitors throughout the year. Local amenities include a grocery shop, bar, post office, church, secondary school and community centre, making it an ideal location for both business and residential use. The flexible layout lends itself to numerous possibilities, whether reopening the ground floor as a café or restaurant, creating a hostel with guest accommodation overhead, developing a boutique guesthouse, or establishing a mixed commercial and residential investment, subject to any necessary planning permission. The generous accommodation, central location and strong tourism appeal combine to offer exceptional potential for owner-occupiers and investors alike. The property is ideally positioned just 14 minutes from Enniscrone, with its 5km sandy beach, seaweed baths, championship golf course, hotels, restaurants, pubs and indoor water park. Ballina and Sligo Towns are also within easy reach offering further amenities and services. The property may also qualify for a range of Government grant schemes, including supports for the refurbishment of vacant properties and the conversion of upper-floor commercial space to residential use. Combining a prime village centre setting, substantial accommodation and exceptional scope for redevelopment or investment, this property is ideally suited to a wide range of commercial, tourism or residential uses.
