Sublime by the Suir

Marfield House sits on 390 acres and has planning for a golf course and hotel.

UNTRY Homes estate agent David Ashmore has made a brave claim while putting Clonmel’s Marlfield House to market with its €8m price tag, and planning in place for golf course, hotel conversion, and up to 146 residences.

He says appetite for such products “is very much back in demand”. Now, while a few top sales (such as Fota Resort last year for c.€25m, and which hosted last month’s Irish Open) show some demand for top golf resort product, the market for ambitious schemes which even have yet to be built has yet to be truly tested. Or tried.
