The Waterfront: from �?�1.5m

FRONTING onto Kenmare estuary and overlooking the Sheen Falls Hotel in Co Kerry, the Waterfront is a small gated community that offers purchasers a chance to buy an exclusive property in a highly sought-after location.

And despite its Euro1.5m price tag, these luxury four-bed houses represent a bargain for buyers hoping to relocate or retire in the Kingdom when compared to other properties in the area.

Last year a house here sold for Euro5m, according to the agent, Sherry FitzGerald Daly.

Building work has just commenced with completions expected by the end of 2007 and architects Hickey Moynihan have created a stylish modern design. One of the major attractions of these homes is the inclusion of Smart Home technology, ideal for those who want to work from home. Interested purchasers also have the option of buying site only.

All four houses in the development are two-storey properties that span 246sq m (2647sq ft) and have landscaped south-facing gardens which stretch to the water's edge. Accommodation comprises of sitting room, kitchen, dining room, games room/family room, utility room and four en-suite bedrooms with walk-in wardrobes.

Other state of the art features include open fireplaces, porcelain tiling and walnut doors, skirting and architraving.
