I have been growing more and more disillusioned with how my nation is changing, not for the better in my opinion.
Since I have a lot of Irish heritage and Ancestry, I've begun seriously considering moving to a place where I can live out my days in peace and close to nature, while still having things nearby (for supplies, finding help with things etc... and especially having a new audience to play music for... I betcha dey ain't nebber seen nuthin like me playing and singing ha ha 🤣)
So after some browsing on the Daft app I found this run down location.
I've since found out that this place is under contract for sale, but it gives an idea of what I would be looking for, a "Fixer Upper" but this one at my age would most likely be beyond me (I'll be 70 yrs old this summer)
c.6 acres of lands with Residence at Garyroe, Kiltimagh, Co. Mayo
€175,000
3 Bed
1 Bath
107 m²
Detached
(Entranceway)
It is cool to dream isn't it?
You can see on that last image, there is water damage under the plaster on the outside, which is also quite evident inside
This is (I think) on the opposite side of the ground floor
Upstairs there is also water damage,
and the BATHROOM? 😟
Kitchen?
So, I sent a reply to the realestate agent who said it had been put under contract, that I may be coming to Ireland soon to scout for something I can afford that will suit my needs.
I will update you all as things develope
Full disclosure, all these photos are from the Daft.ie website for this property listing

My oldest son and his wife just came back from vacation in Ireland. Her grandmother paid for all of them to go with her to visit her side of the fams ancestorial stomping grounds or something like that. My son said he would love to love to live there. I wish you luck Jerry.
