The hotel group behind plans for a new championship links golf course on the north coast has acquired a property at the Co Derry development site.<\/p>\n

The Galgorm Collection announced plans over the summer to invest \u00a330 million in a new landmark course at Bellarena, on a stretch of land overlooking the River Roe and Lough Foyle.<\/p>\n

It came just eight months after the Co Antrim hospitality group behind the Galgorm Resort completed the acquisition of the Roe Park Hotel in Limavady for around \u00a314m.<\/p>\n

One year on from buying the 118-bed hotel, the group has bought a new lodge property in Bellarena.<\/p>\n

Documents published by Companies House show Roe Park Holdings Limited is the new owner of Musselden Lodge.<\/p>\n

The four-bedroom residential property was placed on the market earlier this year with an asking price of just under \u00a3400,000.<\/p>\n

Built in 2006 below the Benevenagh Mountains at the railway crossing on Scotchtown Road, the country-style lodge features three reception rooms.<\/p>\n

The property backs onto the railway line that cuts through the landscape at Bellarena and crosses the nearby Roe River.<\/p>\n

The lodge is among the properties visible in the landscape promotional image released by the Galgorm Collection when it announced its Bellarena plans in July.<\/p>\n

The PropertyPal listing for Musselden Lodge confirm the property has been sold. It\u2019s unclear how much was paid for the house.<\/p>\n

According to a document published by Companies House, AIB provided the finance for the deal, which was signed on October 30.<\/p>\n

The Galgorm Collection has heavily invested in golf tourism over the past year, spending \u00a328m to acquire the Roe Park Hotel and Galgorm Castle in Ballymena<\/a>, both of which feature 18-hole courses.<\/p>\n

The hospitality group is currently embarking on a \u00a322m investment strategy in both sites. <\/p>\n

The hotel company previously explored a potential championship links course below the Glens of Antrim at Glenariffe<\/a>, next to the villages of Waterfoot and Cushendall.<\/p>\n
