For Sale by Private Treaty Rare 7.2-Acre approx. Coastal Holding – 2 km from Brittas Bay Beach Lands at Cornagower West, Brittas Bay, Co. Wicklow ACRES is delighted to offer a rare opportunity to acquire approximately 7.2 acres (2.896 hectares) in one of Ireland's best-loved coastal destinations. The lands lie just 2 km from Brittas Bay's renowned Blue Flag beach and 2.5 km from Junction 19 of the M11. The property sits between two established holiday-home communities, Brittas Bay Park and Ocean View. Holdings of this size so close to the beach rarely come to the open market. Key Features • Approximately 7.2 acres (2.896 hectares) of coastal land, laid out in grass. • Approximately 2 km from Brittas Bay Blue Flag beach. • Approximately 2.5 km from Junction 19 of the M11 and about 65 km from Dublin city centre. • Positioned between the established holiday-home developments of Brittas Bay Park and Ocean View. • Broadly rectangular site with a gentle south-westerly slope. • Approximately 45 metres of road frontage. • Located within the Cornagower area, one of three clusters identified in the Wicklow County Development Plan 2022–2028 for new tourist accommodation in the Brittas Bay coastal area. • Illustrative concept drawings available for an integrated tourism and recreational resort (no planning permission). Location Brittas Bay is one of Ireland's best-known coastal destinations, famous for its long sandy beach, natural dunes and popular holiday-home communities. It draws visitors from Dublin and beyond throughout the summer. The lands are at Cornagower West, approximately 65 km south of Dublin city centre. Wicklow Town and Arklow are both within easy reach, and the M11 is just 2.5 km away. The property is bordered on both sides by established holiday-home developments: • Brittas Bay Park (east): a gated development of detached holiday homes with a clubhouse and tennis courts. • Ocean View (west): an established development of individual holiday homes. Description The lands extend to approximately 7.2 acres (2.896 hectares). They are broadly rectangular, with a gentle south-westerly slope, and are currently laid out in grass. There is approximately 45 metres of frontage onto the public road. A holding of this size in such a sought-after coastal setting may suit a range of purchasers, including: • Adjoining or local owners seeking additional land. • Agricultural use, such as grazing. • A private amenity holding close to the beach. • Purchasers with a longer-term view exploring appropriate tourism or recreational uses, subject to planning permission. Services: Intending purchasers should make their own enquiries regarding water supply, wastewater treatment and electricity. Planning Context The Wicklow County Development Plan 2022–2028 identifies Cornagower as one of three development clusters in the Brittas Bay coastal area towards which new tourist accommodation is to be directed. The lands fall within Coastal Cell 9 – Brittas Bay (Objective CPO 19.24). The lands are within the rural open countryside area. Uses that may be considered under the relevant policies include: • Integrated tourism and recreational developments with appropriate visitor accommodation and public recreational amenities. • Seasonal camping and glamping, subject to strict planning, environmental and operational requirements. • Rural housing, where applicants meet the rural housing need criteria. Viewing: Strictly by prior appointment with the selling agent. Disclaimer: All descriptions, measurements, distances and illustrations are provided for guidance purposes only.
