Commercial property agency Lisney is welcoming offers for a seafront regeneration site at Glenarm Harbour in Ballymena, Co Antrim.
The Eglinton Yard site, which overlooks the marina and Glenarm River, is on the market for £200,000 as a development brief.
It covers 1.26 acres and includes an open sided warehouse, a number of outbuildings and a large hardcore yard area.
Mid and East Antrim Borough Council hopes it will be redeveloped to boost the wider regeneration of Glenarm.
Andrew Gawley, Director at Lisney, said: "This development brief presents a rare opportunity for an investor to place their mark on a site in an outstanding location at the heart of Glenarm village and capitalise on the tremendous potential offered by the surrounding area and its close proximity to local attractions such as Glenarm Glen, Glenarm Forest Park and Glenarm Castle which plays host to the Dalriada Festival.
"The opportunity is strategically positioned fronting New Road which forms part of the world-renowned Causeway Coastal Route and is directly opposite the new Tourist Information Office in the village.
"It also overlooks a marina which boasts 40 fully-serviced pontoon berths within the village's historical limestone harbour."
Councillor Lindsay Millar, Mayor of Mid and East Antrim Borough Council, added: "We are confident that with the right buyer, this incredible site can be transformed into a viable and sustainable jewel in Glenarm's tourism crown.
"Growing the economy and boosting tourism are key priorities for our council, and we are doing our utmost to provide the best possible conditions for business to flourish.
"Glenarm has superb potential and the unlocking of this site is key to our ambitious plans to breathe new life into the village."
The deadline for submissions is 21 February 2019 with a proposed target date for development by 31 December 2022.
