Arklow

Rare opportunity to acquire 0.27 acre of land just south of Arklow, off the R772, close to junction 21 on the M11. The plot is 1.5 miles from the sandy beach at Clogga Strand. It is an elevated position with a pretty view of the hills to the west.

ZONING
It is in an area zoned as a RURAL in the coastal AREA OF OUTSTANDING NATURAL BEAUTY. It is immediately adjacent to lands zoned RE (Existing Residential) in the current Arklow Local Area Plan.

HISTORY
Almost 30 years ago the house standing on this site was destroyed in a fire and never rebuilt. A planning application in 1998 for a replacement house was abandoned, due to the illness of one of the applicants, following a request for further information. All that remains is the 400 sq.ft. slab, the well house, an outhouse and an overgrown gate and driveway. The council now considers this plot to be abandoned.

LOCATION
Coordinates of plot (cut and paste into Google Maps to find it) are 52°46'21.2"N 6°09'42.8"W

SERVICES
The electricity connection is over 20 years old. A new connection would be required.
The original well may no longer be suitable. Ground water may not be potable.
The original septic tank is unlikely to meet modern standards.

THIS PLOT IS FOR SALE AS IS.
