Dolores won’t linger on sale of €3m estate
The multi-millionaire Cranberries singer hopes to net €3 million from the sale of her Limerick country estate - the home where her former nanny Joy Fahy was employed to mind Dolores’ son Taylor.
An ad for the O’Riordan/Burton Irish pile, Riverfield House, a mile from Kilmallock, has appeared in this month’s British horsey-set Pacemaker magazine, and the place is due for a property market launch this weekend.
Although the British ad aimed at the horse stud market doesn’t draw any link to the Cranberry rock star, it describes the singer’s 150-acre Limerick base as “an exceptional equine estate”.
O’Riordan bought Rockfield House back in 1997, and lavished money on the original Georgian country residence. She sold her Rapunzel-like Co Kerry tower home near Dun Chaoin for between €1.3m and €2.5m million shortly afterwards. Limerick-born Dolores and her Canadian husband Don Burton are now looking for a new home closer to Dublin, to facilitate their international lifestyle and frequent trips to Canada, her Irish publicist Lindsay Holmes confirmed.
She said they had been chasing after several properties near the capital in recent weeks and months, looking both at old and new homes.
Private and set off the pubic road a mile from Kilmallock on 150 acres, Riverfield House has six reception rooms, a huge master bedroom suite, four other bedrooms (as well as a detached two-bedroomed lodge, ideal for a nanny and her jeep) three further bathrooms, a swimming pool complex, a tennis court, a pizzeria, extensive garaging (for the jet skis) orchards, courtyard, stables, paddock and woodland.
Psychologists put moving house up at the top of the stress scale.
Coming on top of an on-going and highly public court case with her child’s former nanny Joy Fahy, it is a good time to stand clear of the kitchen pots, pans and pizzeria out Kilmallock way.
