This centrally located mixed-use property presents a rare and compelling development opportunity in the thriving coastal town of Louisburgh, along Ireland`s renowned Wild Atlantic Way. Occupying a high-profile position with strong street frontage and excellent footfall, this strategic site is primed for redevelopment, expansion, or reconfiguration subject to planning permission.
The existing structure comprises a generous ground floor commercial unit and a self contained first-floor residential component, offering a substantial footprint for those seeking to create a vibrant mixed-use development. Its adaptable layout, dual access points, and rear yard with roller shutter entry present multiple avenues for value enhancement, whether through full-scale redevelopment, subdivision into multiple units, or transformation into a modern live-work scheme.
Currently in use as a retail premises with cold storage and stock management zones, the commercial space could be reimagined as a boutique retail hub, food and beverage destination, or co-working space. The upstairs with its private entrance and flexible layout is ideally suited for conversion to short-term holiday accommodation, long-term rental units, or even as staff housing for a future commercial venture on-site.
Crucially, the location offers long-term growth potential. Louisburgh enjoys consistent local demand and seasonal tourist influxes due to its proximity to major natural attractions such as Carramore Beach, Old Head, and Silver Strand.

Whether your interests lie in walking, hiking, cycling, or simply soaking in the surrounding beauty, the Louisburgh area features a variety of established trails, all set against a backdrop of striking landscapes.
