Journalists took a tour Thursday of Northern Ireland's strangest real estate offering. For 575,000 pounds ($850,000), the successful buyer could acquire a 46,363-square-foot (4,300-square-meter) grass-topped building discretely situated on 3.74 acres (1.51 hectares) of rolling grassland northwest of Belfast.
