WHO wouldn’t choose to cash in on the coat tails of a wider success story if it helped sell a house?
This golf lodge comes to the market at a time when the resort it is located in – 5-star Castlemartyr – is riding high, having undergone an investment program of €8m. under new owners.
At least one Michelin star is also rumored for its newest restaurant, Terre, when the awards are handed out later this month.
Amidst all this positivity, the long-time owner of No 34, Walled Gardens Golf Lodge, has put his property on the market via Adrianna Hegarty of Hegarty Properties.
It is the third lodge to come her way in less than a year, with one sale agreed at €375,000. It was a three-bed, albeit the same size as the cabin for sale here (139 sq m).
The guide for No. 34 is €295,000, and for that you get a two-bed luxury holiday home, set in the resort’s walled gardens, within 220 hectares of lush parkland, where there is an 18-hole golf course designed by Ron Kirby, who also designed courses at Dromoland Castle, the Old Head of Kinsale, Mount Juliet.
Ms Hegarty says it is the first time No 34 has come on the market since the original purchase at a much higher price in 2007. She says the location of the mid-terrace lodge is “quiet and idyllic” near a number of beaches and only a 10 minute drive from Midleton and approximately half an hour from Cork Airport.
The lodge would suit those looking for a holiday home in East Cork, with excellent rental potential, between personal use. Added attraction for golfers. Also expect investors.
