Situated on an elevated site with uninterrupted panoramic views overlooking Lahinch Beach, ‘Thalassa’ is a four bedroom detached home in one of the most sought after locations along the west coast of Ireland. The property was marketed as “an ideal family or holiday home with stunning views overlooking the Atlantic Ocean”.
Speaking to The Clare Echo, Douglas Hurley of DNG O’Sullivan Hurley explained, “to get a property with a view of the beach in Lahinch is rare. It is four to five houses up on that hill and it is the best site in terms of uniqueness with a view of the sea, the beach and the town. There’s a scarcity of chances to build in Lahinch so there is always demand when a property goes on the market. The sale price is endemic of the market where money is available for the right property and this is one of those unique properties, it is a generational property”.
