Locals buy historic 163-acre coastal home in Waterford

An historic, 163-acre coastal site in Waterford, with connections to France’s Bonaparte family, has been sold by private treaty.

Summerville Estate, at Corballymore, Dunmore East, which includes a former stately home, held a guide price of €1.2m.

It was purchased as one lot for an undisclosed sum by “a local family”, according to the selling agents, John Rohan Shelley Fitzgerald.
