Knocknagroagh, Ballyvaughan, Co. Clare

New Quay Real Estate is very excited to bring to the market this fantastic residential site in the heart of Ballyvaughan Village with all amenities right on your doorstep. The site is in prime location tucked away just off Main Street and nestled among an array of beautiful mature trees in a wonderfully picturesque setting with its entrance adjacent to an adorable traditional thatched cottage adding to the allure. A minutes stroll brings you to the harbour amid jaw-dropping mountain and ocean scenery and provides a base for a quality of life that few locations can match. Given the calibre and popularity of this truly amazing coastal setting we believe the potential for a fabulous family home or lucrative investment property is all but guaranteed.

The site will be sold with full planning permission in place, the vendor having submitted the application to Clare County Council (Application No. 2560504). As most buyers are aware, the planning application process with its mandatory requirements for engineers reports, environmental impact assessments, percolation tests and fees among many other outlays along with the substantial costs associated with the installation of independent wastewater treatment systems to meet current EPA standards can prove prohibitive from a construction cost perspective. Fortunately, given that there is an existing water connection and direct access to the public wastewater system and that fact that the vendor has borne all of the costs and outlays associated with the planning application process the successful buyer will benefit from substantial savings especially when compared to other greenfield sites in the immediate vicinity and further afield. The successful buyer will also have the opportunity to engage with the design process if they so wish subject to the appropriate agreements. This, as of the 23rd August 2025, represents the only site being offered with full planning in the village of Ballyvaughan and its environs.
