Compass Hill 5.9 acres land guided at €4.5 million by joint agents Josie Dinneen and Savills

LAND for new homes development at the very top of Kinsale town, with views over the water, has come for sale with a €4.5m guide price, with a previous grant of planning permission for 64 homes, mostly apartments.

The elevated site, crowning Compass Hill, by a popular walking route above the thriving town (where new home sales have slumped due to current supply shortages), extends to 5.9 acres, and is being sold for a local family.
