UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE AN EXTENSIVE COMMERCIAL SITE WITH SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
The subject lands fall within the Limit of Development as per the Fermanagh Area Plan 2007 for Garrison Village. The location and size of the site offers a prospective purchaser an extremely unique opportunity to development a range of schemes, subject to planning. Given the proximity to Lough Melvin and Enniskillen, the site would lend itself to a number of uses including leisure to aid local tourism, subject to planning. Full planning permission was granted under reference LA10/2017/1302/F for a distillery building and associated vehicular access. The storage buildings were granted under reference LA10/2019/0552/F and LA10/2020/1292/F, as well as the visitor centre under reference LA10/2022/0934/F. The property is set on an extensive lot size of about 9.7 acres in total which includes a warehouse at 392 sq. m, a distillery at 414 sq. m, a future visitor centre building at 162 sq. m, two agricultural sheds at 400 sq. m and potential for further warehouse development subject to the relevant planning permissions. A potential purchaser will be able to benefit from the bonded warehousing located on site, which will reduce the lead in time for any whiskey business or other suitable uses. The buildings located onsite are well-maintained and in excellent condition, and can be easily adapted if necessary or used in their current state. The property offers an extremely private setting with Lough Melvin to the west of the property and being positioned in the backdrop of the Leitrim Mountains. The surrounding area is a mixture of woodland and agricultural lands. The property is accessed of the Gurteen Road, Garrison where the property is entered by laneway. The property offers a potential purchaser the opportunity to expand further, subject to relevant planning permission. The site benefits from access to water on-site provided by Northern Ireland Water which is the essential material for production. Further provisions are provided by the Rooagh waterfall located on-site. The Rooagh Waterfall provides an extremely unique opportunity to generate hydroelectric power, subject to planning. This will improve the energy efficiency and carbon footprint of the site.
