We’ve got a second home, it’s in very rural Ireland - the next valley from my dads old home. I’ve got some land on the old family farm plot but it’s not building land. When we bought it the house had been empty for a year or so and there was no great demand for old farmhouses so no one was priced out, if anything the area has suffered significant population drop over the last few years.
It’s not an investment - it’s not been a money pit but not far off, we don’t rent it or air bnb it, it’s for us, family and friends to use.
If it were possible I’d spend all my time there, it’s the best thing we’ve bought and a real refuge from all the shit of everyday life and my life there is vastly different to London life.
