Property Description

A unique opportunity to acquire a charming derelict cottage set on an expansive holding of approximately 17.9 acres in the highly sought-after coastal location of Rossadillisk, near Cleggan. Also included in the sale is a separate freehold plot of ground a short distance from the cottage, measuring circa 2.37 acres and a commonage share which equates to circa .99 acre on nearby, low lying islands.

This traditional property offers huge potential for restoration and redevelopment, making it an ideal project for those seeking to create a bespoke home in a truly stunning setting. The existing accommodation comprises a central living/kitchen/dining area, four bedrooms in total—two of which are situated in a rear extension—along with a bathroom located within the extension. Additional features include a front porch and a large cupboard/utility closet. The total floor area measures circa 82.07 square meters. 

While the cottage requires complete renovation, it presents a rare canvas for transformation, with generous acreage providing privacy, space, and potential for further development (subject to planning permission).

The property enjoys close proximity to the beautiful Rossadillisk Beach, renowned for its unspoiled natural beauty, white sands, and panoramic Atlantic views. The nearby villages of Cleggan and Claddaghduff offer a welcoming community atmosphere, traditional pubs, local shops, and access to ferries serving Inishbofin Island. The area is celebrated for its rugged coastline, scenic walking routes, and authentic West of Ireland charm.

This is a rare chance to secure a substantial coastal holding with exceptional potential in one of Connemara’s most picturesque locations.

We believe this property may qaulify for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant which provides up to €50,000 to renovate empty homes, with a top-up bringing the total to €70,000 where a property is deemed derelict.
