St Kilda: the house and its putting green are just behind the three houses at the front of the photograph; like theirs, its garden has the sea at its footWhen it comes to the sale of prime residential property, €11.7 million may still count as a significant sum, but as July gives way to August it’s just enough to givethe runner-up spot for the prices achieved in the Dublin market in 2022.
Situated within a short stroll of Sandycove beach, the Forty Foot bathing spot and the landmark Martello-tower premises of the James Joyce Centre, the extended villa-style property had been home for many years to the late Peter Cosgrave, his wife, Oonagh, and their family. Cosgrave, who died in 2019, was one of Ireland’s leading property developers and founder, with two of his brothers, Joe and Mick, of the Cosgrave Property Group.
The Irish Times understands that Oonagh Cosgrave engaged Inhous to find a buyer for St Kilda. With offices in London and in Dublin, the agency specialises in the sale and sourcing of properties for high-net-worth and ultra-high net-worth individuals across the globe. Before handling St Kilda, the agency’s Dublin private-clients division had brokered the €8.22 million off-market
on Avoca Avenue in Blackrock. Inhous declined to comment on its involvement or otherwise in the sale of St Kilda when contacted by The Irish Times.The Residential Property Price Register shows that two other homes in Sandycove also changed hands for multimillion-euro sums recently. In May, 9 Sandycove Point was sold for €5,191,950 while White Sails, on Marine Parade, secured €5 million.
Farther south along the coast, Dunmara, the lavish coastal home on Strand Road in Killiney that the celebrity lawyer Gerald Kean once shared with his former wife, Clodagh Hopkins, was sold earlier this year for €4.15 million. Having placed the five-bedroom castellated mansion on the market in 2016, Hopkins finally secured its sale through the Lansdowne Partnership agency on January 28th, according to the Property Price Register.
Are they not worried about the rising sea levels? 😱
