Strong interest in Knockaseed

A SURGE of interest in a 28-acre Co Kerry offering has hit Killarney auctioneer Michael Coghlan of the Sherry FitzGerald Sherry FitzGerald alliance — who reckons that half the world now want a lifestyle change and a move to the country.

The viewing interest, e-mails and calls resulting from Irish Examiner editorial coverage last week of his new-to-market property offering at Rathmore left him floored.

There were dozens of inquiries from around the country and requests to walk the land, as well as an immediate offer at the €650,000 asking price.
