Mayo man raffling Dublin penthouse for €58 per entry

MAYO man John Goodwin is turning the Dublin property market on its head and giving one lucky person the chance to win his stunning three-bedroom, three-bathroom penthouse apartment in the Docklands area of Dublin City centre for as little as €58 per entry.

Born in Manchester to Irish parents in 1970, Goodwin's family moved back to Mayo in the early '80s. His Dublin penthouse was the winning property on the hit USA TV show 'House Hunters International'.

Explaining the inspiration behind the prize draw, he explained: “Last year during lockdown, a young Brazilian food delivery cyclist was killed in a hit-and-run close to my home in Dublin. The tragic circumstances hit me hard and led me to realise that life can end in a flash.”

John set up a fundraiser online and raised almost €14,000 to donate to the young man’s fiancé, helping her and his family with the funeral costs.

“I felt that it was time to make some radical changes in my life and make a base in my native Mayo.

“During lockdown, I was faced with the unique challenge of selling my Dublin property that could not be visited or viewed by potential buyers. In addition, I didn’t want my beloved property simply to go to the highest bidder. Investment funds and cuckoo funds are snapping up property in the docklands and it’s just not for me,” he said.

John wanted someone struggling to get a deposit together or someone stuck in the rental market to have the chance of a lifetime to win 'The Dream'! To have a break, get on the property ladder and live their best life.

His creative juices began to flow. Why not give some lucky person the chance of a lifetime? Why not bring some joy to someone’s life during these challenging times? Finally, he fell upon the solution - to offer the penthouse in an exclusive prize draw.

Set back from the River Liffey, just off the Samuel Beckett Bridge along Excise Walk, the fully furnished interior designed penthouse comprises 1442 sq. ft of luxury living. It is part of a small development of seven apartments, making this one of the most exclusive residential buildings in the Docklands.

For those not looking to relocate to Dublin, the penthouse can help you earn over €50,000 annually, based on recent open market rental values.

John Goodwin comes from a highly creative family - his grandparents owned the famous Goodwin’s dance hall in Bonniconlon and his father was an award-winning traditional Irish musician with the Boifiled Ceili Band.

From an early age, Goodwin found his creative outlet in the world of Irish dance. After graduating from Oxford, he spent more than 15 years with Cirque du Soleil in various leadership roles on touring shows around the globe. In 2014, he launched a new creative adventure, establishing the creative production collective Olde Town Pictures in Brooklyn, New York.

On his return to Ireland Goodwin found a new outlet for his creative drive, dedicating himself to property, art and design.
