On course for the good life
Think Killarney or the K Club, the Old Head of Kinsale, Mount Juliet and more, and now, add Fota Island and its golf course lodges to the mix.
“We’ve already had international interest in buying these houses, especially from America, and there are people who want a house on the course who already own golf course homes in five or six other worldwide locations: it is like they collect them,” says estate agent Catherine McAuliffe of Hamilton Osborne King. This coming Bank Holiday weekend Ms McAuliffe releases ten houses at Fota Island (see also 1), and planning conditions imposed by Cork County Council have stipulated that they must be used for tourism-related uses: one condition is that their owners cannot occupy them for more than six months a year.
