Trump Checks Out Roofless Estate For Latest Golf Empire
Donald Trump's billion-dollar Scottish golf course may be on hold, so he has turned his rapacious attentions to Ireland and the remains of the Mountpather House. The 170-acre estate once boasted one of the finest country houses in Ireland but now the 18th century country house has fallen into disrepair. The elegant facade remains but the home's roof was removed over 30 years ago so the owners could avoid paying tax rates on the property. The fireplaces and interior fittings have either been removed or have collapsed leaving a crumbling shell of a home.Mountpather House is just one of several properties that Donald Trump's representatives have looked at while scoping out the right spot for Trump's Irish golf course development. The estate is located in an area with other esteemed golf courses and is located around 40 minutes drive away from Belfast and two hours from Dublin. The property is listed at £8 million (around $15.62 million). I'm almost hoping Trump snaps this one up but only if he restores the old house rather than razing it.
