There are amazing houses in every country and then there are pads like this one in Kerry, which are like something from another world.
On the market for €2.5 million, this is Mermaid Isle. It is a world-class oceanfront retreat washed by warm crystal waters of the Gulf Stream in a protected lagoon of south western County Kerry.
You’ll have 25 ares of your own land in one of the quietest and most beautiful parts of the world. If the natural scenery isn’t enough to keep you occupied, you’ll also have a gym, two hot-tubs and the odd dolphin popping into the bay to keep you entertained.
Fairly pricey but one can but dream (and possibly buy a lottery ticket)...
