A TRULY EXCEPTIONAL GATED RESIDENCE ON THE EDGE OF BALLYCASTLE

We are privileged to present for sale ‘Trostan’ at McCormick Brae, an exceptional and highly distinctive residence occupying one of the most enchanting settings along Northern Ireland’s celebrated Causeway Coast. Positioned within easy reach of world-renowned Blue Flag beaches, the iconic Giant’s Causeway, and some of the country’s most prestigious championship golf courses, this remarkable home offers a lifestyle as impressive as its surroundings.

Nestled within a beautifully preserved, tree-lined estate at the foot of the breathtaking Knocklayde Glen and just 4 miles from the highly regarded seaside town of Ballycastle, Trostan enjoys an atmosphere of complete tranquillity and timeless elegance. Originally forming part of a historic collection of stone stables and coach houses, the buildings have been meticulously and sympathetically transformed into an exclusive gated development of just five luxury residences, centred around a charming private cobbled courtyard.

Occupying one of the finest positions within the estate, Trostan enjoys an extensive rear garden backing onto open countryside, with a stunning outlook from the home and its grounds. A mature setting, open views and spectacular sunsets combine to create a rare sense of seclusion, all within easy reach of the North Coast’s finest destinations.

Internally, the property has been finished to an exceptional standard, where contemporary luxury sits effortlessly alongside the character and craftsmanship of the original structure. Thick stone walls, rich architectural detailing and period charm are complemented by the comfort, efficiency and practicality expected of a modern home. The quality of the restoration was formally recognised with the prestigious NHBC Seal of Excellence Award, underlining the calibre of design and workmanship throughout.

Homes of this character, quality and setting seldom come to the market. Whether as a distinguished permanent residence or a superb coastal second home, Trostan represents a truly outstanding opportunity within a tightly held and highly desirable development.

 A residence of exceptional charm, enduring quality and unrivalled tranquillity – viewing is essential to truly appreciate this remarkable home.
