Cois Chuain homes tower over harbour

THIS estate of three-year-old houses in Glounthaune is not, as the name suggests, next to the harbour, but rather towers over it.

Built on a high, hilly site it has some views all the way over the inner harbour to the parkland of Fota and beyond. In between, the Midleton Parkway looks like a scalextric set in the distance.

Almost completed, and with huge grassy open spaces, Cois Chuain is in increasing demand and could show a 45% return on the original selling price if the first re-sale here hits above the €600,000 mark.
