This unique property offers more than just a home; it offers a lifestyle of tranquility, beauty, and unparalleled natural splendour.

Perched on a scenic site overlooking Magheraroarty Beach, this property comes with full planning permission (FPP) for a three-bedroom house, meticulously designed by the renowned Michael Friel Architects.
The proposed home will span approximately 1,150 square feet, with a layout that optimises space, light, and those breathtaking panoramic views.
Imagine waking up each morning to the sight of the majestic Horn Head Peninsula, the rugged Muckish and Errigal mountain range, and the serene waters of the Wild Atlantic Way—all from the comfort of your own island haven.
Currently, a derelict ruin occupies the site, presenting a rare and exciting redevelopment opportunity.
For those with a vision, this property qualifies for the Derelict Home Grant Scheme, which offers substantial financial support for restoration.

Additionally, properties on remote Irish islands like Inishbofin are eligible for an extra grant, making this project even more enticing. There’s also potential to tap into solar electricity grants, aligning your dream home with sustainable energy practices.
Inishbofin Island, a hidden gem off Donegal’s northwest coast, is the epitome of peace and serenity.
Spanning about 300 acres, this tranquil island is accessible only by boat, with regular ferry services from Magheraroarty Pier.

The island’s rich cultural heritage is deeply rooted in its status as a Gaeltacht region, where the Irish language thrives.
