    It is at the end of a long and remote road in the Kerry Mountains. But I have fallen in love with the idea of living there and having my own circle of Standing Stones in the garden surrounded by woodlands and breathtaking mountain scenery with star filled skies untouched by any pollution.

    But at the age of 62 am I taking a risk living alone in such a remote location?

    I am in good health but is it still too risky being so far from the nearest town?

    Have you viewed it? Probably in poor nick, needing a lot of work to bring it up to scratch.
    Know the area well from hillwalking and it's seriously remote. Roads would be iffy in bad weather.

    The OP posted an update yesterday but I see he has since deleted it. In short, he decided against bidding for this property. The condition of the house seems to have been a deal breaker. He has since put in an offer for another house elsewhere in the country.
