Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Harbour Lodge on Lough Sheelin, Co Cavan could scarcely sit in a more idyllic spot. The two-storey house, built 10 years ago, is a moment's walk from a lake famous for brown trout. The five-bedroom, two-bathroom house has wooden floors, fitted limed oak units in the 19ft kitchen, and verandas leading from sitting-room and main bedroom. Agents Jackson- Stops and Davitt & Davitt are quoting pounds 170,000 (00 353 1 6771177).

The village of Gerani in Crete is on a river, is five minutes' walk to the beach and has supermarkets, tavernas and hotels grouped together, with the residential area a peaceful 1km away. This old, renovated two- storey house has a mature garden and two roof terraces. The ground floor has a studio and a separate entrance. The house sits in a 1,000 sq m plot. pounds 72,000 through Crete Property Consultants (0171 328 1829).

And now for something a little more ambitious: Bagatelle, 3 km from Cannes. The estate has three villas, staff quarters, four swimming pools and four acres of gardens. The main, five-storey villa includes five reception rooms, hairdressing salon, dance floor and indoor pool. Another villa boasts a Moroccan-style dining room; the third, a Jacuzzi and sauna. All yours for pounds 19.2m through Knight Frank (0171 629 8171).
