House of the week

This summer sees a selection of coastal buys and builds of the country’s boom period up for sale, at a fraction of peak values.

Examples include Howard Holdings’ developer Greg and Anne Coughlan’s Ardbrack Kinsale home arriving on the market via Cohalan Downing at c€3.75m, having cost €6-7m to build and site-acquire, and ‘Secret Millionaire’ Nadim Sadek’s extraordinary Inishturkbeg Island complex in Clew Bay, developed at a cost of €9m, now in receivership and valued at €2.85m by Sherry FitzGerald and Knight Frank.

Into that trophy-home fray, but at a far more affordable price level (these things all being relative, of course) is the west Waterford beachside home, Pebble Beach.
