Spring stirs holiday buys

IT’S spring, and holiday home fever is in full seasonal flight.

Despite the bad press rained down on tax-driven holiday and second home schemes, not all deserved to be so-tarred. And, the imminent demise of many tax breaks will place a premium on the better remaining developments.

Up at the top end of the scale, in a premium Ring of Kerry location, is the Waterville Spunkane scheme being completed by interior architect Michael Price of Caprice Developments. Among his previous ‘works’ is a collection of contemporary stone houses on Lamb’s Head near super-scenic Derrynane.
