Country Vacations & Resorts

I haven’t done a “Dream Property” for awhile. I tend to get rather lost imagining myself in some 15,000 square foot French chateau or an Irish castle. That jolt back to reality can’t be managed too often!

But one CAN and should still dream. Here’s a great Italian candidate:

It’s not too far from Milan, Monte Carlo (Monaco) – Cote d’Azur or Venice. It has a private, consecrated church on the property, a 17th century mill, and 18th century horse stables.

There’s even an 18-hole golf course just 3 kilometers ( just over 1 mile) away.

The spectacular grounds and incredible scenic views will fight with the Italian architecture and stonework for your attention.

According to the owner you’ll not only own this castle, but a little bit of history as well:

“This 14th-century castle was built on a previous ancient military Tower belonging to the Emperor Frederick I, count Palatine of Swabia, called the Barbarossa.”

I can well believe it!

Need room to spread out? How about slightly over 32,000 square feet of habitable space with:

~ 6 rooms and a kitchen on the ground floor
~ 5 rooms on the first floor
~ 6 rooms on the second floor

The 75 +/- acre property with castle is completely furnished with period pieces, uses economical gas heating, and there is even WiFi for you when you decide to return to this century!

Normally a property with a listed construction year of 1550 might raise a few eyebrows but for Killahara Castle, “1550″ seems quite appropriate.

This 7 bedroom, 4 bath castle has been fully restored with conservation in mind and the process is supported with full history and documentation. 3100 square feet of living space on 5 levels will allow new owners and their guests to socialize when ready while still having some space for privacy throughout the castle.

The property sits on a secluded but not isolated 7 acres – about 90 minutes from Dublin, Cork and Shannon – in County Tipperary, Ireland. Don’t forget to bring horses if you have them since the castle’s property has land suitable for paddocks. Your horses will be happy here with this incredible view…

There are reasons why a property like Killahara lasts so long – it was built to last in the first place and, the castle is maintained and restored when needed. You’d have a difficult time finding any structure currently for sale built with window areas like these:

This property is great value at the negotiable asking price of 995,000 Euros ($US 1,372,000. – approx.)
