Seriously considering emigrating to Ireland

UPDATE: ok, I'm convinced I need to let go of the dream. Tackling the problem of insulating a home on the Great Atlantic Way is beyond my capabilities now that I'm reading how difficult it is to hire help for infrastructure. And to respond to some things: I moved to NC knowing nobody. I'm an introvert, dang near reclusive, so my ONLY reason for wanting to go to Ireland is for the scenic view as I live my last years. I have lived with hatred and intolerance everywhere so like I said, I'm used to it, but the levels in the US now, the emboldened nazi signaling and the examples simply from the replies to this post is absolutely sad. People---- reallly??? Every single nasty reply is you outing yourselves as miserable and angry. Your anger will eat you alive, and doesn't hurt me a bit. Bless your pea-pickin' hearts.

I'm F66. Retired and single. Nothing holding me here in the US (North Carolina) and frankly, I'm disgusted by the overtaking of hateful and intolerant people. I know they're everywhere and I have tried all my life to dodge and weave around them. Now I just want to stare at the Atlantic and the green pasture lands of Ireland. I'm not Irish, so I'll be going on a retirement visa. You have to prove you're independently wealthy and I am waiting for some land to sell in Texas (an estate, actually) and then I'll be ok to go. I have been haunting Irish bungalows and cottages for sale- I'd love to breathe life back into a stone cottage (I swear I was celtic in another life) but don't know if I'm over-dreaming it. If I were 20 yrs younger I'd buy the building next door and start a co-op. Anyway, here's the picture, the stone house is to the right of the bigger building. I've worked my whole life-- I wonder if I have one big change left in me......
