“For today’s estate, it’s appropriate that we visit Ireland. Blairs Cove Estate has classic appeal. Expansive green lawns, a rugged coast line and plenty of old stonework contribute to the charm of this property that overlooks Dunmanus Bay in West Cork. The estate includes a period Georgian house, a separate four-bedroom cottage, a courtyard with four apartments and a restaurant that seats 85, stables, and a greenhouse on 4.5 acres of land. The restaurant has been in business for over 25 years and Blair’s Cove is a popular sight for weddings. Ancient stone walls, colorful gardens, ponds and a cobblestone courtyard complete the classic picture. The main Georgian house was built in 1786 and has both formal and informal living areas and an added conservatory. It has five bedrooms. This estate is listed at 3.5 million euros.”

Not to shabby of a price for such a highly ranked country & for such a beautiful estate.  I know I’m thinking about it!
