Romantic views and possibly a direct hike up from the back garden to Mullaghcleevaun, my favourite mountain in Wicklow. But no heating (apart from fireplaces), no running water and no sewerage, not even a septic tank 😮
I know this area well from cycling around there on the bike, the location is incredible. If you were working in Dublin 2-3 days a week then this would be excellent. There's a beautiful stone wall under that plaster, the house next door and most of the houses in the area have removed the plaster/pebble dash.
Very cheap for the area, needs some work, no mention of a bathroom, septic tank or sewage connection. If there is none then you'd have to sacrifice the smaller front bedroom for a bathroom. An extension out the back would be no issue. Another €50-100K would make this into a very nice house.
The house is here: https://www.google.com/maps/@53.1124843,-6.4844201,3a,75y,90.2h,78.63t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sULZdlYTA3_pXHVHpVAAenA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

I know someone from my town who built a house with loads of needless split levels as the house was built on a perfectly level site and now they are trying to sell their house because they aren't able for the steps any time they want to move around the house.
It is very weird- the exterior shots are clearly photoshopped, but they don't even show the view from the glass yoke in the middle. I would imagine the land between the house and the sea will get developed eventually so that would definitely put me off. The luxury ocean liner deck look of the glass thing is fairly gack too.
On a more general point- the multiple split level thing annoys me- Bannon is a big fan of it but I think with ageing populations as well as just ease of ovement the less splitting of levels the better!
Jesus those pictures have given me a headache. Its a great site, and a lovely spot, but that house is an absolute mess. I'd be curious as to what they are charging for it as Barna is pricy as it is
Looks to me like they tried to go for the look of two "old" buildings linked by that glass structure in the middle, only for the interior architect to completely miss the point with all the elegance of an overweight albatross tumbling a$$ over teakettle over a mud flat after misjudging his landing...
Would be difficult lighting conditions to capture the view and detail inside. I guess it's a "composite" but looks poorly done and quite artificial. I've seen this a lot in real estate photography though.
jaysis this thread used to have 30+ new posts most days and now it barely scrapes 4 or 5. What have you done Boards
Both 32 & 33 have weird outside pictures.
Looks like the selling agent put a fake image in the window in picture 33.
Could be me, but it just doesn't look right
Interior Designer: And what style would you like your house to be decorated in?
Owner: All of them! Give me a dozen themes under the one roof!

You would think for $17m it would have a view of Central Park but the view the balcony does have looks pretty boring for New York
Manhattan property prices are just insane. It is nice but not €16.8M nice

I'd say the price is that high because it is sitting on 7 acres. But yeah, €100k wouldn't do much when it comes to doing up that house.
Wow that is depressing!! Totally overpriced for a damp money-pit. AND its in Kilcormac....
I just watched the entire show to see who was the idiot that decided the window and frame. Bannon is simply terrible at his job. He can be right on his choices but he never seems to pay attention to the plans and tries to fix his mistakes by changing things and blaming others. The who talk about if they make this mistake now it will be wrong as opposed to I am the qualified person here planning this for you to your requirements and I missed this. The window should have been two circular windows that you could view from the mezzanine and the living room.
He is just terrible at his job and costs his clients' money while not listening to them.
Was on sale for 450k 6 months ago, now 249k.........
For some reason the theme tune to Father Ted starts up in my head when I look at the photos in this advert.

Ex-Dermot Bannon and more than 25km to the Dail no matter what Google Maps will tell you. Being sold I guess because of the memories. I remember the arguments over the post in front of the window [you need to watch the show again]. It's an excellent location, I often cycle past it.
The row about the expenses is here: https://www.thejournal.ie/katherine-zappone-travel-expenses-2732813-Apr2016/
Does that door really get past the bed frame?
This is just up the road from me but @ 1.5M, Its only a dream but still, I would move in in a heartbeat !
House is a decent size but the amount of money you would need to put in to it! Parochial houses like this all over the place, there's one near where my mom grew up that the priest done and the church grounds and it is definitely one of the nicest properties in the village now. Must have won the lotto
I like the site, alot of work to be done
Nope, the hillock next it to is Forth Mountain. Compare photos 29 & 30
I do like all the trees surrounding the house. The house itself would need a lot of work though!
That place could be spectacular - but just gives me the creeps!
It's Forth Mountain.
250K for a shell and not even a big shell at that.
