The beautiful Ring of Kerry golf course in south-west Ireland is up for sale. This 18-hole hotel and golf course offers stunning coastal views across the Atlantic Ocean.

Planning permission has been granted for 36 large two-bedroom apartments adjacent to the golf course which could be divided to create 72 smaller apartments subject to consent.

Tenure of the land is freehold with a guide price of €18 million.
