DevelopmentLand:A five-acre site looking directly over Malahide Estuary in north Dublin has come on the market through Knight Frank Ganly Walters.

The guide price for the private treaty sale is €1.8 million.

The land is in a particularly picturesque farming area at Estuary Road, between Malahide village and the M1. It is 1.4kms from Malahide village and 17kms from the city centre.

The site includes a derelict farmhouse and outhouse with a total floor area of 126sq m (1,356sq ft), as well as a large barn.

The site slopes on to the northern boundary of Estuary Road. "We expect huge interest in this property," says selling agent Richard Bielenberg. "It is something which rarely comes on the market, as it offers a splendid opportunity to purchase a site in this lovely, quiet, rural and scenic spot on the coast."
