Everybody becomes Irish when the month of March rolls around. How can you get your own piece of Ireland, and do it on a working person's budget? Get your Irish on to the tune of $49.99, and own a piece of the Mother Country.

Yes, you can actually own land in Ireland for less than the price of a decent pair of running shoes. Purchase land in Ireland, and then make a point to rub the Jones' nose in it.

For the low, low price of US $49.99, you can purchase exactly one square foot of land in rural Ireland.

What exactly will your $49.99 get you? Here comes the part where I start to sound like Sally Struthers, breaking down the list of things you get when you sponsor a child. Well, in this case, it's not a child, but the rundown if very much the same. With your purchase you'll receive:

  • One square foot of land
  • Legal documents certifying your ownership
  • a map showing the precise location of the property
  • Two photographs of the surrounding area (probably suitable for framing)

There are several services offering land in Ireland for purchase. Should you purchase from www.myirishod.com, your property will be located in Brideswell in the County Roscommon. Take a look at this beautiful landscape. Just think, one square foot of this could be yours.

Knowing my luck, the square foot of land I buy will probably be the one with a huge pile of sheep poop on it.
