Fort William ticks all the boxes

Fort William ticks all the boxes

Waterford’s Fort William House, on almost 400 acres along the River Blackwater with fishing rights, has been sold quietly and off-market in recent weeks. Fetching between €7m and €8m, it’s one of the largest Irish country estate sales since the economic crash.

Sources say it is one of the finest private properties in Munster, “ticking all of the boxes for international buyers”.
