Castle Island is set at the mouth of the Quoile River to the south of Strangford Lough. The island enjoys a spectacular setting with southerly views over the Quoile River and beyond to the Mourne mountains, and an excellent outlook over Strangford Lough to the north. The island is home to Quoile Yacht Club, which offers some of the finest facilities in Strangford Lough, and is bound by the Quoile Pondage Nature Reserve and Bird Hide.
Though nestled in private surroundings, the island conveniently lies a short distance from several towns including Downpatrick (4 miles) and Strangford (6 miles). There is a regular car/passenger ferry crossing from Strangford Lough to Portaferry, connecting to the Ards Peninsula. There are plenty of local interest points nearby, including Castle Ward Forest Park (5.5 miles) and Delamont Country Park (6.5 miles).
Castle Island is a private residential island extending to about 116 acres with about 1.8 miles of coastline. The house on Castle Island is a modern, detached property with a fine situation which is strategically positioned to take full advantage of the stunning views across the Quoile River and Mourne Mountains beyond. A key feature of the island is the direct road access to the mainland via Castle Island Road and onto Strangford Road which connects Strangford with Downpatrick.
The extensive block of farmland lies within a perimeter fence and is well-suited for the grazing of livestock and production of silage/hay. There is an abundance of amenity on the island including wildlife, and sporting opportunities.
