Whether you’d prefer something by the sea, a rural retreat or something more modern, one of these four homes might just be what you're looking for.
Kerry is a fond favourite of many Irish people as a holiday destination, but all the things that make it great for a visit also make it a gorgeous spot to settle down in permanently.
Whether you love the beautiful coastline, rugged mountains, or just the more peaceful rural life, there’s plenty to love about Kerry. If you’re tempted by the thought, check out these four homes in the county, all under €240,000.
Zarian Cottage, Skehanagh, Castlecove, €235,000
This two-bed cottage has some wonderful traditional features, including exposed ceiling beams and a wood-burning stove, while the rear of the house feels bright and modern. There is a sun room, living and dining room, and the main bedroom has an en suite bathroom.
The house sits on 1.5 acres of land that has two ponds, while it is a set on a quiet cul de sac off the Ring of Kerry road and is just a few minutes walk to White Strand beach, and a short drive to the beautiful Derrynane beach.
The Grove, Ballyline, Ballylongford, €235,000
This four-bed home is larger than it may appear from the outside, with three of the bedrooms having en suite bathrooms and plenty of living space on the ground floor.
The house sits on around 4.17 acres of land, and sits just outside the village of Ballylongford, while the coastline is just a short drive away.
Thady Macs Cottage, Toreenyduneen, Waterville, €198,000
This large cottage has been extended to the rear, while many of its traditional features remain intact. It has an open plan lounge and with an open fireplace and an open timber staircase.
Set in a particularly scenic area next to the Kerry Way Trail, there is walking, river and sea fishing, sailing and golf all in the locale, while Waterville is just 25 minutes away by car.
Sea Views, Reenglass, Valentia Island, €230,000
What better way to have easy access to the sea than live on an island? This three-bed cottage has been recently refurbished and has beautiful views of the surrounding area.
It is located close to Knightstown Village and the ferry, for easy access to the mainland, while there are plenty of options for walking, fishing and water sports nearby.
