‘Banshees of Inisherin’ Views Among Charms of Clare Island Lighthouse Now on the Market for €4.8m

Clare Island’s lighthouse is a “distinctive nautical landmark” on Ireland’s West Coast and it could be yours — for €4.8 million.

Highlighting its scenic views to the land of Oscar-nominated film The Banshees of Inisherin, Christie’s International Real Estate touts the restored waterfront property’s residential and guesthouse opportunities in its private and secure location.

One of the ‘Great Lighthouses of Ireland’, Clare Island Lighthouse dates from 1806 when it was built by Marquis of Sligo and was one of the 13 Irish lights taken over by the Ballast Board in 1810.

The original lighthouse was destroyed by fire in 1816 and a second tower was built two years later, remaining in service until the lighthouse was decommissioned in September 1965.

Since then it has been restored as luxury accommodation comprising the original lighthouse towers, a number of small cottages and converted outbuildings, with walled gardens with a helipad on nearly a hectare of grounds.
