A lavish house overlooking Croagh Patrick has gone up for sale in Westport.

The property - which was built in the mid 1800s - is located on a site of seven and a half acres.

Prospective buyers will need deep pockets - the luxurious listing has an asking price of €1.9 million.   

With regards to the ample room on the site, the listing waxes lyrical about the “grazing and parkland which not only affords the opportunity to retain a number of ponies or such on the lands but also presents significant development possibilities for premier sites in this location, if a purchaser so wished (subject to planning permission)”. 

The property itself, known locally as Killadangan House, has Victorian features, four bedrooms, and a large well-kept garden equipped with electronic gates leading into the property.

To sweeten the deal, the bathroom also comes with a sauna, and the downstairs features high elegant ceilings. 

The listing reads: “This very fine period property comprises a residence of character and charm perched on an elevated site set well back from the road behind secure electronic gates, in a mature picturesque location with a spectacular vista over the adjacent Clew Bay.”

“The property has been extensively refurbished over the last 10 years and has been used most recently as a boutique high quality guest house.”

The property is a ten minute drive from Westport town centre. The scenic town was pronounced the best place to live in Ireland by the Irish Times in 2012.
