For the same money, you can buy a three-bedroom house in Newbridge - or a sunny getaway with a swimming pool on Barbados island in the Caribbean!
Barbados is an 11-hour flight away and is famous for its white-sand beaches and turquoise, crystalline waters.
The Newbridge home for €295,000 is located on Athgarvan Road in Kilbelin.
The house in Barbados, with a price tag of €296,800, comes with a swimming pool and is close to the sea, reports The Irish Times.
The property has an open-plan living room and kitchen opening onto a patio beside the pool.
There are two en suite bedrooms and an office, which could work as a third bedroom.
There is also a laundry room and store. The house is at the end of a cul-de-sac.
For the same price, you can get a property on the Greek island of Symi - a three-bedroom villa that overlooks the island’s Venetian harbour.
The house is divided into two apartments.
Downstairs there is a living room with tall windows on two walls, a kitchen with fireplace, bathroom and a bedroom.
Upstairs is a living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom and balcony big enough to put a small table and chairs on. A large terrace is at ground level.
