Your Loch-y day, price reductions at prime properties

SIZEABLE price reductions are being flagged for the ’09 spring selling season on two very varied house options east of Cork city.

The asking price on the large bungalow Loch a Teide, with acres of gardens and amenities at Ardnahich, Shanagarry, has dropped from €1.2 million in late 2007 to €900,000.

The 4,500 sq ft house, on 1.8 acres, has feature-packed gardens, stone seating areas, rear decking with eight-person hot tub, a 750 sq ft private bar, and a lofted garage/store, with a further 2,250 sq ft of space.
