Renovation Opportunity 3 Bed Bungalow with Panoramic views of Mulroy Bay

Enjoying spectacular uninterrupted views over Mulroy Bay and the iconic Harry Blaney Bridge, this three-bedroom bungalow offers a property in one of Donegal's most scenic coastal locations.

Built in 1982, the property occupies an elevated site and extends to a traditional bungalow layout. While the house requires modernisation, it offers excellent potential for purchasers wishing to create a beautiful home with breathtaking coastal views.

The property has been vacant for approximately two years, meaning eligible owner-occupiers and investors who intend to rent the property for a minimum of 10 years may qualify to apply for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant (€50,000) and the SEAI Grant (€30,000) from May 2026, with funding of up to €80,000 potentially available. Prospective purchasers should note that properties intended for use as holiday homes will not qualify for this grant scheme.

Situated within easy reach of Carrigart and Downings, the property enjoys a peaceful rural setting while remaining close to local shops, restaurants, beaches and the renowned Rosapenna Golf Resort, making this a highly desirable location along Donegal's beautiful north coast.

Although requiring refurbishment, the property offers enormous potential and would make an ideal principal residence, investment property or coastal holiday home once upgraded.
