$1.1 Million Homes in Cork, Ireland
Tooreen | $1.1 million (€975,000)
This rustic six-bedroom, four-bath house sits over a natural waterfall near the tourist village of Glengarriff in County Cork, in southwest Ireland. Situated in a hamlet called Tooreen, the unusual house has served for years as the anchor to a popular sculpture park in the surrounding woodlands.
Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater house in Mill Run, Pa., the three-story house has a giant staircase in a central atrium surrounded by large windows to capture the sounds of the flowing stream beneath it.
Glengarriff has about 800 residents and offers amenities including markets, hotels, pubs and restaurants. Its population expands during the summer tourist season. Activities include kayaking, golf, fishing and cycling, and there are boat trips to Garnish Island, which has formal gardens popular with visitors. Nearby is the Glengarriff Woods Nature Reserve, with hiking trails through about 740 acres of sessile oak woodlands in the shadow of the Caha Mountains.
The city of Cork, with about 228,000 residents, is 60 miles east of the property, as is Cork Airport, which offers regular flights across Britain and continental Europe, and some to North America.
Size: 5,274 square feet
Price per square foot: $214
Indoors: The front door opens to a large atrium with an imposing spiral staircase. There are five large rooms around the atrium, three with internal windows with atrium views. There are also two bathrooms and utility rooms on the first floor.
The spiral staircase ascends to the second-floor landing, leading to a spacious kitchen, a combined dining/living room with a fireplace, and a large bathroom. Off the dining/living room is another sitting room with access to a terrace. A hallway leads to two more rooms that could be used as bedrooms.

Tourists cool off by Paris fountains in France's heatwave
STORY: :: Tourists visiting Paris cool off near fountains as a heatwave sweeps across France :: June 19, 2025 :: Paris, France "Well I'm here actually with my wife, we just got married and so we're on our honeymoon and we couldn't be happier than being here today, it's hot but it's lovely to be hot. Hot and in love and having an ice cream in Paris. No better place to be." "Yes, very hot, I need water, for my head or for me." "We're dressed for the weather. As we say in London, when it's pouring with rain, the only problem is if you're not dressed for it. So today, living with shorts and a top, it's good." Visitors around the French capital's landmarks donned hats and sunglasses as they tried to stay cool amid the early summer heat. France's national weather agency Meteo France issued a heatwave warning for Friday (June 20), particularly affecting the western regions of the country. Authorities urged residents and tourists to stay hydrated and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun during peak hours.

Olivia Wilde shows off trim figure in beaded string bikini during Italian getaway
Olivia Wilde had some fun under the Mediterranean sun while vacationing in southern Italy. On Saturday, the 41-year-old actress and director was spotted climbing out of the water after enjoying a dip in the Ionian Sea off the coast of Taormina, Sicily. The "House" alum put her svelte figure on full display as she rocked a tan bikini with red beaded strings. Wilde wore her damp hair down around her shoulders and accessorized with a pair of oversized brown sunglasses and a delicate gold necklace. The "Tron: Legacy" actress was later seen reading a book while sunbathing on a lounge chair by the beach. The day before, Wilde attended the 2025 Taormina Film Festival, where she received the Taormina Creativity Award. The "Don't Worry Darling" director wore a sage green gown that featured a soleil-pleated skirt and plunging neckline with a keyhole cutout. Wilde styled her hair into soft waves and completed her look with a gold chain necklace that had an emerald pendant. Earlier in the day, Wilde sported a light yellow silk and lace dress and gold velvet platform sandals along with a gold statement necklace while attending the festival photo call. On June 2, Taormina Artistic Director Tiziana Rocca announced the festival would be honoring Wilde's creative achievements. "We are honored to welcome Olivia Wilde to the 71st edition of the Taormina Film Festival," Rocca said in a statement to Deadline. "Olivia represents a shining example of female creative power, combining elegance, intelligence and determination. Her presence will greatly enrich this year's program and offer the audience a unique opportunity to engage with one of the key figures in contemporary cinema." The festival was held from June 10-14 in the hilltop town. Other stars honored with awards included Martin Scorsese, Michael Douglas, Helen Hunt, Catherine Deneuve and Monica Bellucci. According to Deadline, Wilde's next acting project is the upcoming thriller, "I Want Your Sex," which also stars pop singer Charlie XCX and Cooper Hoffman. She will direct the comedy "The Invite," in which she will also star alongside Seth Rogen, Edward Norton and Penélope Cruz. Wilde's other upcoming directing projects include the comic book adaptation "Avengelyne" and the Christmas comedy "Naughty."
