Major drop in asking price for stunning Donegal house made famous by Atlantis Commune

written by Staff Writer May 7, 2025

A stunning home made famous by a commune who lived in Burtonport in the 1970s has had its asking price slashed by up to €75,000.

Foirnis is located in the beautiful seaside town in the west of the county.

The house has eight bedrooms and three bathrooms and is in perfect condition.

It was put on the market last year with an asking price of €799,950.

But that asking price for the unique landmark home has recently been reduced to €724,950.

The Victorian property was once home to the well-known Atlantis Commune but is now in private hands.

Named after the legendary island but known locally as The Screamers, the Atlantis Foundation practiced primal scream therapy.

Charismatic Englishwoman Jenny James established the community in Burtonport in 1974, moving from another primal commune in London.

Leaving behind its past, the property is set to attract huge interest from prospective buyers considering its price drop.

The property is set on 1.4 acres.

Built in 1895, having undergone significant refurbishment in the intervening period, the property maintains many of the features one would associate with the Victorian properties of days gone by including large rectangular sash windows, a centrally located front door, high ceilings, an open fireplace and solid wooden flooring all of which have been lovingly maintained by the current owners.

The layout comprises of numerous hallways with high ceilings as well as a variety of attractive stained glass panels.

The first floor is split into two parts with the main building accessed from the front hallway and this part of the property contains four bright airy double bedrooms with the master bedroom also containing a sitting area to the front.

There is also a beautiful office / studio overlooking the front garden area.

The other four bedrooms are accessed via a stairwell to the rear of the property and this floor also contains a communal fully tiled bathroom.

Conveniently, the property is located just a few minutes from Burtonport Harbour.

It is also located close to numerous local amenities and beaches with the nearby towns and villages of Dungloe, Kincasslagh and Annagry all within a short drive from the property.
