Put your stamp on one of the highlights of Celtic Tiger times

THE times are not only a-changing, they have changed fairly radically in the property market.

A location that shows some of the hopes and hubris of the Celtic Tiger era is Hilton, off Cork’s Model Farm Road, that was happily reinventing itself up until the boom came down with a bang.

Individual houses in this estate of big detacheds made over €1.5 million at peak, such as the Hilton house which sold for about €1.6m. That 5,000 sq ft home on a 0.8-acre site was flattened, with a huge replacement home now almost complete, and with another house site left over to the rear.
