This is a rare opportunity to acquire a regularly shaped parcel of ground measuring c. 21 Acres / 8.5 Hectares, laid out in two fields and benefitting from good road frontage to the R108, Ballyboughal Road.

On the day of our inspection horses were grazing the land.

The property is situated with good frontage along the R108, Ballyboughal Road, and whilst currently zoned Green Belt, it is only two fields removed from residential zoning at Mooretown and Swords Community College.

The land is situated on your right-hand side after c. 800m.
Alternatively proceed from Swords Castle along Rathbeale Rd (R125), passing developments at Millers Glen and Mooretown, to the intersection with the R108 signposted for St. Margarets and The Airport. Turn left, towards Dublin Airport, and proceed for c. 1.2km to the land on your left-hand side.

Area:
We are advised the land measures c. 21 Acres / 8.5 Hectarres and provide this for information purposes only. Intending purchasers must independently satisfy themselves as to the correct acreage.

Zoning:
Under the current Fingal Development Plan 2023-2029 the property is Zoned “GB” Rural: “Protect and provide for a Greenbelt”. There is also a road proposal affecting these lands which appears to have been first introduced in the 2011-2017 Fingal Development Plan.

Swords (Irish: Sord Cholmcille) is the county town of Fingal, situated about 13 km north of Dublin city centre. At the 2011 census the total urban population was 42,738. In 2012, Swords was named the third best town in Ireland to live in. The survey conducted by Retail Excellence Ireland took into account safety, retail, dining, entertainment, events, car parking and overall attractiveness of the town. Since the mid-1990s Swords has seen improvements in shop fronts, public buildings and footpaths and the restoration of Swords Castle. Following a huge improvement to litter in the town, in the 2011 survey, Swords was declared the second cleanest town in Ireland.
