A separate ‘manager’s house’ and three gate lodges complete the properties on the estate. Also included in the sale is a stud farm, complete with equestrian equipment and facilities.
For the €15 million price tag, you’ll get the main house with all of its furniture, the full estate, plus stud equipment and farm machinery included.
Grangecon Demesne is surrounded by sprawling green fields, while the River Griese, a tributary of the River Barrow, forms part of the estate boundary and provides the opportunity for fishing.
