One Dublin man's property posting on Daft.ie hasn't gone unnoticed on Twitter with its unique requirements for any prospective housemate.
The housemate hunter posted about the "unique opportunity for someone to share a four-bedroom house with three others beside beach in Sandymount, Dublin 4 at low rent".
The owner, in his 40s and retired, currently shares the house with two 20-year-old women, one from Brazil who's an IT professional and an American Master's student.
But it's the next bit where things get really bizarre.
The owner's description of his ideal candidate to move in is as follows: "I expect this would particularly suit a writer, artist, a mindfulness practitioner or someone who studies at home."
"We seek someone who is interested in nature, gardening and participating in our little community - we do NOT seek someone involved in the modern-day rat race or who has a job outside the home."
"The rent is below the market rate because the primary goal is not commercial but rather to find the right person who will bring good energy to the home."
"Replies should include a brief description of yourself and a mobile number."
The advert has since been removed.
