Harbour-side home is for sail

CUTTING its cloth to a buying market’s measure is Golden Point, a waterside home and possible mariner’s berth in Cork harbour at the mouth of East Ferry: its asking price has been reduced from €1 million to €850,000 to expedite a sale.

The setting is one of the most picturesque inlets in Cork harbour, wooded on the sides, with a pretty stone church as sentinel and with a yacht marina sheltered behind at Marlogue.

Golden Point hit the market last July, during Ford Week, and sure enough its first flurry of viewings was from the waterborne community.
