Bill Clinton purchases $1.2 million apartment in Ireland

FORMER US President Bill Clinton has forked out 1.2 million for a lavish apartment which he hasn’t yet viewed at The K Club in Co Kildare.
Last weekend, Mr Clinton visited the club for a few holes of golf and decided to acquire one of the 20 holiday homes built within the confines of The K Club enclave.

Mr Clinton went for a two bedroom apartment near the 18th hole.

One of the strong selling points has been that buyers get two full memberships of the golf club in perpetuity a valuable concession considering that 50-year memberships have been selling for something in excess of €225,000.

The two-bedroom apartment has a floor area of 1,000 sq ft a lavishly finished living room suitable for entertaining on a fairly large scale and directly off it and a kitchen with all modern appliances.

One can only hope.

I would take off too if I knew something was about to happen.

That's hardly what I'd call "lavish" or "suitable for entertaining on a fairly large scale".

You'd think Bill would have honorary memberships at any
golf course here....

1,000 sq. feet is actually pretty small. I think the main reason for the price is because of the country club affiliation - that's what he is paying for along with this apt.

You beat me to it. :)

Hardly suitable for large scale entertaining. My parents 2 bedroom condo is 1100 square feet and the living room felt cramped with 10 people visiting at Christmas. Where would they put the Secret Service?

a fine size for a love nest.

My place is bigger than that.

not the appartment. 1000 sq ft is roughly the same size as my house. And I mostly entertain in the warmer weather when we can spill out onto the patio.
