Don’t go North to Alaska for this Anchorage in the sunny south west

THE singer Michelle Shocked had a hit single with her song Anchorage, Alaska - however, this house of note Anchorage Ahakista is a warmer option.

The just-revamped house is close to the water’s edge and the warming Gulf Stream currents in West Cork which can mean semi-tropical plants easily acclimatise to the location.

This particular’s house’s setting is very particular: overlooking rugged Dunmanus Bay it is directly across the road from the Air India memorial, which commemorates the hundreds of lives lost when bombers targeted a civilian flight en route to Canada. The 20th anniversary of that tragedy occurs next June.
