TWO strong, prime Munster harbour-set property sales each in excess of €2 million look set to wrap up an otherwise uneventful year at the market’s upper end. In the month that US singer Tori Amos decides to finally part with her ‘beloved’ Ballywilliam House, upriver of Kinsale on the River Bandon, on 2.5 acres including waterfrontage for €1.45m (main pics), comes news of a €2.5m deal on the utterly contemporary Corafinne, at Kinsale’s so-chic Scilly.
