About this property
Description
DNG Dorrian are delighted to bring to the open market this exceptional coastal holding, offering significant development potential for one, or possibly two, bespoke detached residences, subject to compliance with the prevailing Rural Housing Policy. The property spans two adjoining folios, consisting a total area of approximately 20.18 acres, and is positioned in a highly coveted and picturesque location along the renowned South Donegal Coastline, locally referred to as the Kilcar Coast Road. This remarkable stretch of coastline is widely regarded as one of Donegal’s most desirable scenic areas, with the iconic Muckross Head peninsula and beach conveniently situated within a 15-minute walk. Perched on the south-facing slopes of the Croaghbeg and Croaghmuckros hill, the property benefits from unobstructed, open-aspect views into Donegal Bay with St. John’s Point and the Sligo Mountains in the backdrop. The subject lands along the southern boundary extend to around 9.5 acres of good quality grassland benefits from just under 250 meters of shoreline incorporating a local headland known as “Shalwy Point”. The remaining land associated with this property, consists of lesser quality grazing that is elevated in nature. This section of land previously was granted planning permission under reference 971772 for one detached house, but expired back in 2003. The lands situated along the southern boundary comprise approximately 9.5 acres of high-quality grassland, benefitting from nearly 250 metres of shoreline frontage, including the prominent local headland known as “Shalwy Point.” The remainder of the property consists of elevated grazing land (c. 10.68 acres of thereabouts) of lesser quality. Notably, this section previously received planning permission for a single detached dwelling under reference 971772; however, this permission expired in 2003. This stretch of coastline is undoubtedly one of Donegal’s most highly desirable scenic locations and a truly rare opportunity to acquire a excellent quality farm in a stunning coastal position.
