Property Focus: Sales in these Cork Harbour villages are rare but interesting

Many unique homes overlook Cork Harbour from Passage West to Monkstown

Monkstown Castle has already undergone significant restoration.

Monkstown Castle — a magnificent semi-restored Elizabethan tower house with a guide of €800,000 — now seems to be almost the only property available for purchase in the picturesque Cork Harbour village.

Several other properties in the locality were advertised for sale but, when the Irish Examiner checked with the auctioneers, we found that these were no longer available.
