American racing driver Tony Stewart owns that house, knew it the 2nd I seen the basement.
Did Elon Musk buy it or why the reference to him?
John-boys old pad in Love/Hate is widely reported as being back on the the market.
Get yourself a slice of Irish TV history for a measly €1.2 million.
Did they find all his stashed cash?
No.
He moved it to 54 Lansdowne Lane, Ballsbridge.
This is an interesting one if you had a few quid to throw at it. Fella near me done a similar one up in the 90s

Wasn’t there a Grand Designs about a couple who bought one of these towers on the Wexford coast. Cost them €1m plus to get it habitable.
Jeremy Irons lives in one nearby, outside Schull.
Painted it pink, and caused a murderous scandal at the time - but it's weathered beautifully (as I assume he/his designer knew it would) and looks absolutely fabulous now.
Any picture or google maps link to this?
There is one also out the Headford road in Galway. Just a few mins outside the city. He plastered his outside though which takes away from the look imo the nice stone walls look better.
Since I asked for a link here is a link to the one I mentioned.

His is maybe a bit more substantial than the one for sale posted above.
Found this entertaining article about the castle and Irons https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2017/09/inside-kilcoe-castle-jeremy-irons-irish-castle I love the bit about the Germans.
Didn't that one feature on Grand Designs?? I'm sure I remember a poet lady from Galway being on it.....
I'm not sure unless he sold it and it was done up inside again recently as some guy done it up many years ago at least 25 plus years ago.
Possibly the same ones whom featured over the weekend on The Great House Revival Ep 6, Sigginstown Castle, Wexford?
Another Great House Revival. This is stunning.
Nothing too much wrong with the apartment that a can of non-beige paint wouldn't sort, and it's always frustrating to see apartments with no balconies. Development looks nice either way.
But it's the address..... Grey Block 3. ???? Who came up with that? Sounds like a Gulag address, or anyone remember 'Prisoner Cell Block H'.

Sounds like a working name that never got updated. Spectacular lack of imagination and salesmanship on someone's part.
That apartment looks so damp! Look at the mildew around the windows and then the wallpaper peeling off in the bedrooms.
Not sure if they deliberately changed the name of it, but it's normally called Rivermill. It had a bad reputation a few years back, so maybe it's a rebrand. But yes, Grey block sounds like something in East Berlin in the 1970s
All of the satellite dishes sticking out of the end of it look rotten.
I just felt a sense of gloom, looking at it.
Yeah, it's not the worst from the outside but the inside is grim AF. I'd say if you pulled out that bed in the second bedroom, the whole wall behind it would just be full of mould.
13 acres, some of it old woodland. Nice and quiet, plenty of space. But it looks like it might be rotting away and no interior pics is a red flag.
Handy spot if you only need to be in Dublin a couple of days a week for work.

Handy spot if you need to be burying a few bodies periodically....
Would love to see inside, even if it is rotting.
€200k seems a good price? Would it be tough to get PP? Or would it be tough to get PP for a single dwelling?
Neighbours of mine recently got refused PP for a house, because they could build a dozen on the same bit of land.
Would you even need PP with that house/lodge on it....
It would normally appear that, provided the existing house does not have any planning issues (did it ever have planning, for example) and it is regarded as a habitable house with water, sewage etc planning should be ok.
However the ad describes it as an ideal site, which is subject to the necessary planning permission.
an ideal site, which is subject to the necessary planning permission.
which suggest that there is effectively no planning permission for the house and you would be starting from square one with it.
Is this the same place? The contents were quite nice anyway. I'd love it. A lodge surrounded by woodland.
12 million.
The mere fact that an Archbishop was able to 'afford' a house like that, even if it was back in the day, speaks volume of the history of the Catholic Church in the country post independance.
