If some of the landlords here are anything to go by, we’ll have people sub-dividing a couple of feet at the end of their granny’s grave, and offer vertical burials.

“We are delighted to offer this 0.5x1 metre burial meadow in an exclusive cemetery that people are literally dying to get into. Would suit an anorexic dwarf or professional contortionist.”

looksee

17K for a grave! No chance, they can incinerate me!

Someone trying to get away very, very quickly?

The ad reads like that, he has got a half renovated cottage, a pick up truck, a 3 ton digger, a shipping container and a gaggle of cars and jeeps for sale.

Its kind of like the opening monologue of a low budget Irish movie where the lead actor is down on his luck but eventually wins big in Vegas and covers his losses from Leitrim.

This is the entrance to that house, taken in 2011 and they've put some sort of laneway in since then. https://www.google.com/maps/@54.1729295,-8.2319881,3a,75y,241h,86.14t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s1JiKKfQeQVMHZGtQLQC3YA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

I wouldn't touch it. Surrounded by forest. No light, no birds, no noise. Then when they cut it all down you're exposed to the elements, you're totally at the mercy of whoever owns that forestry. Very wet land too.

I know the area a bit as I often cycled over the Arigna's. There's a fair few untarred roads up there, just gravel. Mad spot alright.

looksee

Its on half an acre with only a right of way through a forest. Its almost impossible to imagine how remote it is.

All for 55k. How much is the digger worth?

How did they get planning permission for that?

Part of me likes it though !

Wouldn't have needed planning since there was an existing house on it I suppose?

If it sells for €100k.

This is not likely.

Not likely in the sense that the Virgin Mary will appear before Jeffrey Donaldson and proclaim him 'a very naughty boy' live on The View or England winning the Euros.

The second one became a bit more likely today...

A lovely part of the country, Kilkenny. I don't live there, but often thought I would like to.

That Kilkenny house is stunning. Though was surprised that for 3.2m all you get is 10 acres of land with it. I doubt the original estate was that small, normally these kinds of houses come with 100 acres+ so Im guessing some previous owner sliced it up and sold most of it off.

It's 5 mins walking distance to the centre of Kilkenny, that's one of the big advantages it has going for it. I think 10 acres is pretty impressive in an urban setting!

Luggala estate in Wicklow has a similar brewing history to the Kilkenny house with the Guinness family living there. It was on the market back in 2017 and it came with 5,000 acres which included a private lake, several mountains and a herd of over 100 wild deer grazing away right outside the house, you could be dining on venison all year round. Denis O'Brien was said to be interested in buying it but then his fortunes turned south. The State had the chance to buy it and make the national park it bordered even bigger but they refused it. Bono also tried to put a consortium to buy it but failed to raise enough money.

In the end a reclusive Italian Count who comes from nobility in MIlan bought it at a knockdown price, said to be around half the asking price of 28 million. He is a hedge fund owner and his other gaff is a 4,500 acre estate in Norfolk.

Count Luca Rinaldo Contardo Padulli di Vighignolo is his name, this is him in his hunting gear
