Kinsale's unique universal appeal

"The European and indeed worldwide appeal of Kinsale continues at pace," say property experts

The Georgian home Sprayfield is on 40 acres with woodland, stables and half a mile of sea frontage just west of Kinsale harbour and Sandycove Island. It came to market with €4.7m AMV is and is already sale agreed. It’s likely to be one of Munster’s top house sale result of 2023. 

There can’t be any other Munster location with as broad and strong a buyer profile as Kinsale — it gets buyers from all over, from the hyper-local and from all over Cork, to second home buyers from Dublin, across the UK and traditionally from Europe and, currently very strongly, from the US.

Kerry’s Kenmare, or even Killaloe on the Shannon, might try to rival it in terms of where buyers come from, but the serious money trail is to Kinsale, with the biggest bucks secured in sales, no two ways about it.
