Designed by Frank Ennis & Associates and built by Kearns Developments and Bowens, all houses have valuable Section 23 tax incentives but are also ideal as holiday homes.

The first houses in the region to be built as 'smart homes' are priced from 340,000 for a three-bed with a floor area of 92sq m (1,000sq ft) to 144sq m (1,560sq ft). The large four-bed houses are priced from 400,000 and have a floor area of 119sq m (1,290sq ft) to 183sq m (1,970 sq ft). The estate has a private road network with security cameras covering all communal garden areas.

The parkland of Carrigglas where the houses are built is 600 acres and will include a Retief Goosen-designed golf course, four-star hotel and country club.

Nearby are tennis courts, play areas for children, an equestrian centre and a spa with a 25-metre pool.

Price: three-bed houses from 340,000; four-bed houses from 400,000 Joint agents: Hooke & MacDonald, 01-631 8402 and DNG Frank Regan, 043 50000
