About this property

Description

A 3-hectare site offers several high-yield paths: Mixed-Density Housing: Given the local population growth, there is a strong need for both "Right-sizing" units and 3-4 bedroom family homes. Serviced Sites: Instead of building out an entire estate, a 3HA site could be partitioned into high-end serviced sites (0.25 to 0.5 acres each), which are in high demand for individuals wanting to build custom homes. Infrastructure Advantage: Castletownbere has seen significant investment in its harbor and pier facilities. As the town's economy grows (fishing, tourism, and re-mote work), the "commuter" radius for the town center is expanding. Natural & Scenic The Beara Way: World-class walking and cycling trails that pass right through the town. Bere Island: Accessible via two ferry services, offering a stunning escape for hiking and history. The Deepwater Harbour: One of the safest and largest natural harbors in the world, providing a constant hive of activity. Lifestyle & Amenities Golf with a View: The Berehaven Golf Club offers some of the most scenic greens in Ireland, overlooking the bay. Sarah Walker Gallery: A cultural cornerstone for the arts community in West Cork. Strategic Location The Beara Peninsula: A self-sufficient town with banks, schools, a large Super-Valu, and a thriving commercial sector. Reduced Regulatory Risk The biggest hurdle in land development is zoning. By purchasing land already zoned for residential use, you bypass the uncertainty of whether the local govern-ment will allow housing. Faster Development: You can move straight to the architectural and site-planning phases rather than spending years lobbying for a zoning change. Predictable Value: The "residential" label provides a floor for the property's value, as it has a defined and high-demand utility. Ultimate Flexibility Zoned land offers several exit strategies: Build Your Own Development: Construct a custom development to incorporate your own ideas Subdivision: Ability to subdivide it into multiple smaller lots, effectively increasing your return on investment by selling each individually.
