Half an island yours for €495,000

THERE’S setaside and there’s castaway, and this Shannon estuary land offering on Canon Island can offer both.

Up for sale is a 112-acre portion of the sheltered 270-acre island near Killdysert, just a few miles from local landmarks like Shannon airport on one side and Aughinish Alimina on the other — but a world removed from daily humdrum.

The captivating island is a mile from Co Clare shore. Its two distinct portions, north and south, are joined by a narrow neck of land.
