Strategic land bank with magnificent residence at Skylark Hill, Newcastle Co. Dublin.

The entire holding extends to approx. 68.8 acres and is located to the south of Newcastle, Co. Dublin, one of the fastest growing towns in the Dublin region.

Accessed off Newcastle Boulevard, the holding includes Skylark Hill, an exceptional period style house, accessed via tree lined avenue set on beautifully landscaped and manicured grounds. The holding also includes a partially built hotel with the structure and double level basement, the majority of which was constructed circa 2008. A 9 metre wide roadway has been constructed from the entrance to the hotel site and we understand that the site is serviced with mains water (200mm), foul sewer (150mm), natural gas main (100mm) and surface water drains (interested parties are to satisfy themselves in relation to services). There is currently approx. 45 acres of the lands in tillage which includes a secure farm storage shed (221 sq.m. approx.) with 4 manual roller doors and an electric security roller door. The lands contain an Aquafer at 47m with a daily pumping capacity of 300,000 litres and geothermal resource which has been tested at 32 degrees at 1,200 ft. An adjoining dwelling that does not form part of the sale benefits from a right of way over the existing entrance access road.

The lands are positioned immediately to the south of Newcastle in Co. Dublin. Newcastle has grown considerably since the 2016 census with an increase of approx. 32% in population to 4,526. With the Development Plan restrictions in relation to Casement Aerodrome to the north of the town, the logical future growth would be to the unrestricted lands to the south where access to the N7 is located. The holding is ideally positioned in this regard with approx. 0.8 km of the northern boundary adjoining residential development. Furthermore, significant services are already on site from the partially complete hotel development.

An exceptional period style family home built in 2002 to the highest possible standards and surrounded by beautifully landscaped, manicured grounds offering wonderful countryside views, an ornamental lake and an indoor swimming pool, all within a 30-minute drive of Dublin City. Extending to approximately 790 sq. m / 8,560 sq. ft. of living accommodation, there is also an expansive indoor swimming pool complex and triple car garage, on exceptionally private grounds of approximately 2.5 hectares / 6 acres. Approached via a Lime Tree flanked gravel avenue, behind electric security gates, Skylark Hill is immediately impressive with its double bay fronted façade, clipped standard evergreen Oaks, Wicklow granite framed sash windows and attractive fanlight.

The entrance hall immediately sets the tone of this spectacular home with its barrel-vaulted ceiling which opens into the magnificent staircase hall with glass atrium above. Off the hall are three primary reception rooms, to the front of the house are a music room and living room – both dual aspect with bay windows. Behind the music room is a beautifully decorated, expansive drawing and dining room ideal for entertaining. All these principal rooms feature open fireplaces with gas inserts and delicate ceiling plasterwork by Stuccodore to the OPW, Andrew Smith. There is also a double guest bedroom with a wall-bed and wardrobe and its own shower room, which doubles up as a guest WC. Further accommodation off the hall includes two cloakrooms, a comms room and a fitted pantry with stairs down to a basement level, temperature-controlled wine cave. To the rear of the house is an Alno, McNally fitted kitchen with granite worktops and high quality integrated appliances opening into a light-filled sunroom laid out as a living/ dining space wi
