ON OFFER: More bang for buck

LAND, lots of land for very little money — about €150,000 and that includes seashore, an old farmhouse and a derelict former hotel.

The property at Reenroe, Waterville one of the most beautiful locations in the country, even comes with planning permission for a brand new hotel and leisure centre.

So what’s the catch? There isn’t one, really. Save for a derelict building that will cost money to demolish and remove, land that’s only really good for looking at and a rundown farmhouse.

The 110-acre holding is on offer at €150,000 through Tom Spillane of Tom Spillane and Co. The property at Reenroe is 3km from Waterville on the Ring of Kerry road, across the Inny River from Waterville Golf Course.

FOR something different, how about a period property to the east of Cork city? Number 11 Lucia Place, Passage West, is a mid-terrace, Georgian townhouse in need of substantial work but then, it is on offer at €80,000.

This three-storey, four-bed property which is a short commute to Cork city and overlooks water at Glenbrook.

Terence O’Leary of Murray Browne Auctioneers is the agent to contact.

FOUR bedrooms, four bathrooms and an end of row location makes this duplex unit at Parnell Court, Summer Hill, Ennis, Co Clare a good bet at €100,000.
