The property is half an hour's drive from Belmullet, and an hour away from Ballina town, county Mayo. 

The listing states that the property is a “rare opportunity” for buyers.

Over the years, the property previously operated as an undertakers and a shop. 

The listing reads: “Carrowteige is renowned for its rugged beauty, walking trails, beaches, and strong sense of community, making this an ideal location for a holiday home, artist retreat, or small business base.”

“Whether you're a first-time buyer seeking a rural escape, a developer with vision, or a local returning home, this is a project that will benefit from Vacant Property Refurbishment Grants and SEAI Grants (subject to approval).”
