HOUSE OF THE WEEK

YOU can see the weather coming, for better or worse, from this private waterside perch near Tuosist, in Kenmare Bay.

Facing south-west out the bay from the Beara side, and billed as “a luxury waterfront property” by Kenmare town estate agent Elaine Daly, it’s far from a mansion in size terms, rather it’s modest in scale at 2,500 sq ft — but its grandeur is in the setting.

The modern home, built ten years ago by a UK/Irish couple, has strong selling points, enough to have garnered it early 2013 interest from the US and UK, with each of those international viewers looking to relocate to Munster for full-time residency, notes Ms Daly. (The same agents report early interest too in the Blackwater Bridge, Ring of Kerry home directly across the bay and which featured here last Saturday for German/Brazilian vendors, guiding €450k.)
