Tuck into a slice of Kerry paradise

Tommy Barker says Kenmare property would make ideal trophy home.

LIKELY to be bid up to the €1 million mark, and also likely to be prized as a holiday or second, trophy home, this Kenmare home by Templenoe Pier is getting its January sale viewers from Dublin and Cork.

Briefly up for sale in 2002 and then withdrawn and used occasionally as a rental, the modern construction take on a Victorian home has a €950,000 price guide, the same level as three or four years ago. It has about 1,800 sq ft of space, five bedrooms with two en suites, a bright water and mountain aspect and is being sold with fittings and furniture, all ready for a Spring or Summer holiday break for its next fortunate owners.
