A PRIME development site in Kinsale - a coastal enclave where house prices rank among the highest in the country - has come to market with a €1.75m guide price and planning permission for 18 luxury homes. The views from the Rampart Lane site won’t be as good, as Convent Garden comes between it and the water. Kinsale development land — especially with full planning permission — has been commanding high prices due to limited supply and very high house-end values. The Rampart Lane site has clearance for 18 homes, a density of about 34 units per ha. Over the wall, in Convent Garden, luxury duplex units with harbour views have been selling for in excess of €1m, with one, No 6, Beacon Wharf, selling for €1.37m.
