Developers involved in the delivery of homes for both the rental sector and the upper end of Dublin’s residential market will be interested in the opportunity presented by the sale of a prime land holding within the grounds of Johnstown House in Cabinteely, Dublin 18. The subject property, which is zoned for residential development, is being offered for sale by agent Kelly Walsh at a guide price of €5 million.
Located within a long-established and much sought-after residential area and in close proximity to Cabinteely village, the N11 and Cornelscourt, the Johnstown House holding extends to four acres of fully serviced agricultural lands with frontage on to Johnstown Road and Granville Road. Access to the site is provided via Johnstown Road.

Commenting on the sale of the Johnstown House lands, Garvan Walsh of Kelly Walsh said: “As one of the few residentially zoned land holdings available to the market in southeast Dublin, this site offers an excellent opportunity for the delivery of apartments or a medium-density housing development, subject to planning permission. The site is close to all amenities and within easy reach of Cabinteely village, Cornelscourt, and within easy reach of Dublin city centre via the nearby N11.”
