PICS: 5 Houses In Rural Ireland Worth €1 Million That Will Blow Your Mind

A million squids is a lot of money when it comes to buying a house, but you’d be forgiven for thinking otherwise if looking at what that sort of money gets you in Dublin.

Things haven’t taken off quite as much post-recession in rural Ireland though, and to inspire you all a little we thought we’d highlight five amazing pads around the country for that price.

All we have to do now is win the lottery or convince a kind bank manager to lend it to us.

That's the hard part.

One can but dream...

1. Bru Na Mara, Mace, Carna, Co. Galway

For €800,000 you're getting not one house, but rather five as a collection including a couple of cottages.

You'll be rewarded with some of the most stunning views in the country as well as plenty of privacy.

2. Cappanacush East, Kenmare, Co Kerry

Sitting on 2.5 acres of land with some of the nicest views in the country.

The house itself is a massive 4,300 sq ft and you'll have lots of privacy.

Will set you back €1.1 million. Yikes.

3. Kinnelargy, Downings, Co. Donegal

Coming in at just under the million mark this is a stunning house that has four bedrooms and four bathrooms.

What makes it so stunning is the design by award-winning architect Paul Brazil who has designed a modern masterpiece benefitting from an abundance of natural light
