Natural beauty you can buy

Tommy Barker looks at an exceptional property in a rare location.

AN amazing location, and houses snuggled into special settings around it – you’d nearly suspect, going on simplistic national stereotypes, that it wasn’t an Irish person that did it.

And, unfortunately, like many stereotypes (because it’s always nice to be pleasantly surprised,) this is proven to be the case: the man behind the lowest-key possible development at Dromgarriff Estate is German, and it is one of two clusters of special west Cork holiday rentals he has put together (the other’s near Durrus.)
