The final countdown is on ….. as this weekend someone is going to win a dream three-bedroomed detached home located just outside Killarney - and live mortgage free!

Worth €270,000, No. 4 Fuschia Lane, located in the heart of Barraduff village, consists of an A-rated two-storey three-bedroom detached house with a south-facing private garden at the back.

The draw will take place at the INEC, Killarney on Sunday night at 8pm and will be livestreamed on the 'Win A Dream Kerry Home' Facebook page.

Organised by voluntary community group Barraduff Community Field Organisation, the fundraiser was set up to help develop the facilities in the community further with plans in place for a new multi-purpose community hall which will include a full-size basketball court, gym, theatre stage and fold-away seating adjacent to their all-weather playing field in Barraduff village. A work hub to facilitate online connectivity to the workplace will also offer new opportunities to both live and work locally.

“Living mortgage free will be life-changing for one lucky entrant," committee member Liam Warren said. "Our vision is that a lucky family will be able to transform their lives forever, either by coming to live and work in Barraduff or coming here to holiday and enjoy all that Kerry has to offer."

Certainly, the vision of this voluntary group combined with a once-in-a-generation opportunity through this spectacular raffle, offers the prospect of exciting times ahead for the village of Barraduff.

As well as the new home, the second prize is a Mitsubishi Spacestar 1.2L 5-seater car valued at €17,000. A €100 ticket also puts you in the draw for a host of other prizes including Killarney hotel accommodation vouchers, a contemporary suite of furniture valued at €1,000, cash prizes and 1000L home heating oil.

“We are grateful to all the local businesses that have sponsored a range of prizes worth thousands of Euro. I think this is the most amazing raffle I have ever seen!” Liam added.

Tickets for the draw this weekend are still available online at www.winadreamkerryhome.com for only €100.
