Horse Island lies in a current of the Gulf Stream directly in front of the southwest coast of the Republic of Ireland, 15 minutes on the water away from the small harbor village of Schull. It is quickly reached by aircraft, with a taxi covering the remaining short stretch, or take the ferry and bring your own car with you directly to Ireland. The nearest airport is Cork Airport. Eight sea miles from Horse Island is the world-famous "Fastnet Rock" lighthouse located at the turning point for international regattas. The lighthouse can be seen blinking at night from many of the windows in the houses of Horse Island; a calming and assuring sentiment that you don't want to miss again and you can live permanently on the 65 hectares of Horse Island or just go on holiday there. The Island can be owned by one or more families, or indeed a company maintaining its headquarters for tax reasons. Please contact your tax consultant to find out what Ireland offers into the deal.

Still, during the winter time they can also get down to business! Horse Island has pure, fresh air with a great salt content. Just lick your lips when you've been on the island for the first 20 minutes! The water? Well, it's crystal-clear... All around Horse Island you can meet and greet dolphins and even otters proudly demonstrating for their young how to open a mussel with the assistance of a rock. Not far from Horse Island there is a seal colony and this island is home to seagulls, sea ravens and many species of land-based birds who feel right at home in the bushes and trees of the island.
