First auction under the Savills name to be held this month and features over 25 lots with a total guide price exceeding £8 million

A trio of striking coastal holdings on Rathlin Island — one of Northern Ireland’s most remote and scenic locations — are set to go under the virtual hammer later this month as part of Savills Ireland’s first online auction operated by its Northern Ireland office.

Taking place on Friday, November 28, the auction marks Savills’ first under its own name following the integration of Osborne King earlier this year. It will feature more than 25 lots with a combined guide price exceeding £8 million, including a diverse mix of commercial and mixed-use investments, agricultural land and residential dwellings.

Among the standout entries are three unique Rathlin Island lots, offering buyers a rare opportunity to acquire portions of the island’s rugged shoreline — including working quays, a wild Atlantic headland and a historic coastal ruin.

Foreshore Lands at Church Bay and Mill Bay include operational Station Quay and Gage Quay, extending across the island’s main landing area. The lot, which carries a minimum opening bid of £25,000, features sandy and shingle shores and a thriving seal colony.

Wild Atlantic Vistas at Rue Point, at the island’s southernmost tip, offers sweeping views over the Atlantic and surrounding marine life, with a starting bid of £30,000.

The Historic Ruin at Ushet Port, believed to have once served as a kelp store and coastguard building, opens at £32,000 and provides potential for sympathetic restoration subject to consent.
