Wonder will Frodo drop round for tea?

THERE MIGHT NOT be one ring to rule them all (that we know about) but this house in Kerry could certainly be the prize of the Kingdom.

Set on over six acres of land with direct access to Kenmare Bay, and right in the heart of the Wild Atlantic Way and the Ring of Kerry, this six-bedroom, four-bathroom thatched house is south-facing and filled with light.
