To the Manor born in beautiful Kenmare

Tommy Barker

Only coming up for sale at a relatively advanced stage of construction are 18 semi-detached homes pitched at families keen for a second or retirement home in a spot packed with some of the country's best hotels, restaurants, bars and views.

Scenic and neatly-kept Kenmare gets appreciative buyers from Kerry, Cork, Limerick, Dublin and elsewhere, and those looking about to buy can get an immediate sense of the sort of quality they can expect in a finished product, as two showhouses done in contrasting decor styles open for display from July 16.
