Eight acres in centre of Athy up for sale
The Athy land which has gone on sale
Eight acres in the centre of Athy town has come on the market.
The site adjacent to the River Barrow has potential for “significant mixed-use development” say Savills, who are handling the sale.
The guide price on the land is €2,000,000.
The land has two zonings, 2.61 acres zoned for ‘town centre’ which can be developed on and 5.39 acres for ‘open space’ which aims to ‘protect and provide for open space amenity and recreation’.
The auctioneer says the entire site can be potentially re-designated as ‘town centre’.
The auctioneer said the site is currently undeveloped apart from a marina feature at the centre of the site, which was developed as part of an earlier development strategy for the site.
The marina in its current form is used by local angling clubs on an ongoing basis. An existing building, The Abbey, was demolished in recent years, on health and safety grounds.
