You Can Buy an Entire Irish Village for €20 Million, and It Looks Straight Out of a Storybook 🇮🇪

“Tucked along the peaceful banks of Ireland’s Grand Canal in County Kildare, just 30 minutes from Dublin, sits one of the most extraordinary real estate offerings currently on the market: an entire restored Irish village. Known as Village at Lyons, the 20-acre private estate is listed for €20 million through Sotheby’s International Realty, offering a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own not simply a home, but a living piece of Irish history.” -

Bangs Are Never Just Bangs 💇🏼‍♀️

“Every few months, someone sits in my chair, pauses for a second, and says: “So… I’ve been thinking about bangs.” Usually followed by nervous laughter.
