Lough Derg is on the doorstep

MOUNTSHANNON or Monaco that's the choice, according to auctioneer Peter Kiely, who says the marina at Mountshannon is the rival of some continental resorts.

The new marina there may be part of the reason why Mountshannon is fast becoming the Home of the Whopper in property terms.

Modest dwellings on the shores of Lough Derg are usually built at around 2,500 sq. ft. It has the kind of marina found on picture postcards and it's also an area where going large seems to be the popular option. Large houses on the shores of Lough Derg are the stock in trade of auctioneers in the area, and Peter Kiely of Killaloe is no exception.
