There is no mention of management charges for grounds, and clearly if the former owners replaced the roof, there is no common maintenance of the external structure; but its up a long private road so there could easily be some significant ongoing costs that are not being made apparent.
Electric gates and 2 acres of gardens ensure a sense of space and privacy. However, the property is not isolated and neighbours will soon become friends.

Oh and the craic is great and everyone loves us too because of our unique and wonderful sense of humour. As a returnee you have to learn fast to keep the gob shut and swallow all the bs about how wonderful Ireland is. Most of it is complete bs.

More rainforest knocked down in state of Victoria than in the Amazon rainforest in the nineties. I dont hate the brutish vibe, better than stuck up ar###oles but it feels like a stolen country and wouldn't want to live there unless it was to help the aborigines.

I'd reckon most with that budget in that area would be looking for detached.

There’s 87 apartments in that one block alone. So, basically, that one deal alone is costing us the equivalent of nearly 80 additional nurses every single year.
