Knockane a knockout

The tide sure has turned since Knockane last graced these pages.

Back in 2006, when it went up for sale guiding €970,000, we wrote about it in the context of Howard Holdings’ €200 million plan for the Passage West docks site they’d bought for €30m, as well as mentioning new, detached mansions in Horsehead by Cork harbour’s edge which were selling for €2m.

We even noted here (gulp) that the tide had turned for quality housing in Passage West as it faced a bright new future. There was even talk of a fast harbour ferry to link the embraced waterside commuter lifestyle.
