Chic setting with stunning views

VIEWS from just about every room, and direct access to the sea are two of the strong selling points of Duneen, a Summercove Kinsale home new on the market in a super-chic setting.

You can literally push the boat out from this pier-side property, which looks back along the Scilly walk towards Kinsale town. The boat is being pushed out too in price terms - expect to be talking around the €1 million mark to put take up berthage at Duneen.

The property, cedar clad for a nautical touch, is on the market with CB Hamilton Osborne King estate agent Pater Cave. He says it is going to have a strong appeal to the sailing fraternity: he’s already touched base with a few likely buyers, landlubbers and waterborne alike, after selling seven apartments at the Shearwater scheme launch on Kinsale’s town quays last weekend. Prices there range from €250,000 to €450,000.
