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

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

Prospective buyers will need deep pockets - the luxurious listing has gone up for 1.9 million euro.   

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 has Victorian features, has 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.
