Former Buncrana facility to begin a new chapter in major nationwide auction

A well-known property in Buncrana is set to open a new chapter this month, as a former HSE-owned building in Lisfannon Industrial Estate goes to auction with O’Donnellan & Joyce on Friday, October 24 at 12 noon.

Once home to a local cheese production facility, the building has long been part of the area’s industrial landscape. Standing on a site within the established IDA Industrial Park, just 4km south of Buncrana and 22km from Derry City, it represents both heritage and opportunity for future investment.

The property extends to approximately 224 sqm and, while in need of refurbishment, offers scope for renewal as commercial or light industrial space, or potential redevelopment, subject to planning. With a guide price of €85,000, it presents an affordable entry point for businesses or investors seeking a foothold in Donegal’s growing northwest corridor.

Auctioneer Colm O’Donnellan described the sale as part of a wider story of regeneration: “Across the country, we’re seeing former state-owned and community buildings find new life. These properties often have strong local connections and great potential, they’re ready to serve their communities again in a new way.”

The live-stream auction on October 24 will see properties from across Ireland offered to bidders online and by phone, following the success of last month’s event which drew strong national and international interest.
