Rising tide of recovery could lift price on waterfront site in Baltimore

Will a rising tide of economic recovery do enough to lift a waterfront Baltimore harbour site of just under three acres, up to the €1 million guide price?

Coming up for sale in the weekend of the annual Baltimore Wooden Boat Festival, as well as a Seafood Festival May 27-29, is the derelict site of the former Baltimore Boat Yard in West Cork, with 180 metres of water frontage and full harbour and Sherkin Island views.

Estate agents Anthony Quinlan and John Downing of Downing Commercial say that as it has a 99-year foreshore licence, the property could suit some marine/marina activity, though its most likely prospect is quality residential development.
