This is the story of the day. An anonymous wealthy buyer has just acquired a private island in Ireland… for the modest sum of 5.5 million euros! A fantastic property that he bought without having visited or seen it beforehand, and which he negotiated directly via the What’s app with Montague Real Estate!
The little island in question, called Horse Island, is located in the south-west of Ireland. The 63-hectare estate features a 4,500m² main residence and 6 guest houses. All luxuriously built, with large bay windows overlooking breathtaking panoramas. The rooms are huge, spacious and equipped with every modern convenience.
There are also 3 beaches, a tennis court, a boat dock and a heliport. In short: pure luxury!

The icing on the cake: the island has its own drinking water and electricity network. No direct dependence on the rest of the island of Ireland!
Despite its built-up areas, the island has managed to remain wild and natural. And that’s its main asset! It offers incredible views of nature and the coastline. Postcard-worthy landscapes!
For the record, the island was once inhabited by 137 people before being privatized. Back in the 9th century, the island even had a copper mining industry, which was eventually abandoned. The population deserted the island in 1960, finding local living conditions too precarious.
A situation that has changed a great deal today: just look at the beauty of the houses built there. Comfortable and luxurious, they face the Atlantic Ocean and boast unrivalled panoramic views of the rest of the island!
In short: an ideal place to live, sheltered from the current pandemic. There’s no risk of people coming ashore: the island now has its own owner!
The buyer in question is obviously planning to settle in quickly.
Although this story may seem surprising, it’s becoming quite common these days. According to many local estate agents: many wealthy buyers are looking for seclusion in Ireland. The COVID-19 is to blame once again…
