Southern Ireland is peppered with hundreds of historic stone castles from different time periods. While most are crumbling into the sea, Blackwater Castle has been maintained continuously for over eight centuries. Located in an idyllic wooded valley on the River Awbeg, beside the town of Castletownroche in County Cork, the Norman round tower of this ancient Irish castle was built around 1190 AD. <\/p>\n

Today, this Irish castle<\/a> represents one of the oldest habitable houses in Ireland<\/a>. After having spent a few years as the single most expensive Airbnb<\/em><\/a> listed in the Republic of Ireland, at \u20ac3,500 (\u00a33,070) per night, Blackwater Castle is up for sale on Christie\u2019s Real Estate <\/a> for \u20ac2 million (approximately \u00a31.75 million). It has also been used as a banqueting and wedding venue. <\/p>\n

While the sale price of this Irish castle <\/a> might sound like a lot of cash for what is essentially a very old building with undoubtedly huge maintenance costs, when one looks closer at the heritage associated with the site the asking price begins to dilute and the value increases rapidly. <\/p>\n
