To the manor born

WILL a private buyer come forward for Dromquinna Manor, one of the country’s finest waterfront homes?

It has see-sawed in the past from private residence to hotel use, and just might go back private again, says Dominic Daly, putting the Kenmare bay place on the international market with joint agents Knight Frank in the UK.

Dromquinna, built for Sir John Column, is on 40 acres of prime Ring of Kerry land, with three-quarters of a mile of shore frontage.
