John Huston's Irish Manor on the Market

Wednesday October 28, 2009

If you have about $6 million burning a hole in your pocket, there's a glorious Irish manor going for a song.

Storied St. Clearan's, more than 300 years old, served Irish nobility, and later became home to fabled classic movie director John Huston and his fourth wife.

Part of the estate of the late Merv Griffin, the graceful, 11-bedroom mansion is going for less than Griffin spent on renovations alone when he used it as a vacation getaway and as a five-star hotel. History, Hollywood glamour and luxury. It's a steal.

Looks a touch drafty.
