Chance to return to residential glory

IT is one of the biggest price drops around: €5 million, down to €2.2 million.

Castlemahon in Cork city’s Blackrock went up for sale at the boom’s height in December 2006, with an all-in price expectation of that higher €5 million sum for its 1.75 acres of land by Blackrock Castle.

Now, there a different sales pitch, with the price slashed, and pitched this time at residential buyers who will turn it back into a gracious family home.
