More land, less cash, great deal

WAY, way more grounds, for way, way less cash, are now offered at the big family home Gleann Alainn, at Kilcoolishal, Glanmire, just east of Cork city.

Built by a former national chairman of An Taisce, engineer and builder Philip Mullally and his wife Molly, there’s now an especially tempting range of options via agent Hugh McPhillips.

He first marketed the 1980s-era home on 0.9 of an acre, with lovely woodland grounds, at €1.2 million more than two years ago but it remained unsold. Now determined to sell, there’s a package on offer with house and two acres for €750,000, or on a fuller eight acres for €900,000.
