BOREENMANNA RD €260,000

COBH, CO CORK €300,000

Sale terms have been agreed on two Munster hotels, one for close to €2 million, the other around €1.25m.

Schull’s Harbour View Hotel, which cost €10m to build and last went on the market at €1m in January, is under offer at €910,000 and is close to a deal with an overseas buyer, according to Denis O’Donoghue of Savills.

THERE’S money left in the country for special properties, but whether or not people put their hands up publicly in an auction and let it be known remains to be seen.

THERE’S only a handful of houses along the front row of the road around Rossbrin in west Cork – it the most scenic of ways of navigating the distance between Ballydehob and Schull.

IF a picture tells a thousand words, then one of John Minihan’s photos of his west Cork home would do instead of a sales brochure, or editorial write up.

AS seen on the telly....showhouses at the Copper Point holiday home development in Schull, west Cork, go on public show this weekend.

A BIT of TLC needed, but Corthna Cottage is in Schull, after all, which means there should be strong interest from the second home market.

THE former Backpackers’ Lodge in Schull has taken itself up a notch or two, but hasn’t lost sight of its green credentials.

LOGGING on to James Lyons O’Keeffe’s website on a dull February day is a great tonic.

This two-bedroom cottage near Schull, West Cork, has a guide of €255,000.

FOR those of us who write about property for a living and, as a consequence, have to read any number of brochures, those of Jim O’Keeffe are always a delight.

HANKERING after a holiday home? Then two properties on the market at the moment might fit the bill.
