Beat the postcode blues in Lisbon
I'm quite sure tourists must think we're off our bin when they hear us get excited when someone mentions "D4". It's not as if this Dublin postcode saves lives or anything like that. I mean, it's just a place -- isn't it? The thing is, it's more than that. Having D4 at the end of your address marks you out as someone who has arrived -- the chosen one. God may not be too concerned on judgment day what your postcode was (I think), but for now, at least, you will be king of the heap.
Quite simply, the best you can get
This is incredible. Period. Never before in the history of mankind, well, Wicklow anyway, has a home and estate of this magnitude and grandeur come on the market. There is no one, I repeat no one, who could not see themselves living here amid the good burghers of Enniskerry.
Taxing times for overseas property owners
There's just something about the taxman. Much and all as we claim to scorn the ground he or she walks on, you know there's a sneaking regard for them -- only if because they can put your name in the newspaper and make you feel cheap. For us more lowly types perhaps that's not so likely, but nonetheless we need to ensure that the taxman gets his pot of gold from us, while at the same time ensuring he doesn't bankrupt us in the process.
SCENIC BEAUTY
Set on a beautiful landscaped and mature site, tranquility and peacefulness are assured in this home, nestled as it is in the surrounding woodlands. Presently, there is a fine three-bed bungalow on the site. However, there is planning permission to make alterations to the property. The planning permission would make the residence a large, contemporary-style home, getting the best of the magnificent lake views and hillside scenery.
ONE OFF
What do you want from life? The mindless drudgery of nine to five, five days a week, only to then go home and be shouted at by your ankle biters? Or, get yourself out of the urban jungle, away from the rat race and down to Fethard-on-Sea, and see how life really should be lived. Easy choice.
