Roscommon lakeside estate with €1.5m price tag
Knockranny Estate, situated on the shores of Lough Meelagh comprises approximately 45 acres of mature woodland and pasture together with a substantial period residence.
A historic lakeside estate on a private 45-acre peninsula in County Roscommon has come to the market with a guide price of €1.5 million.
Situated on the shores of Lough Meelagh, Knockranny Estate is located 6km from Keadue and 8kms from Cootehall. The estate comprises approximately 45 acres of mature woodland and pasture together with a substantial period residence, original estate buildings and around 800 metres of private shoreline.
At the heart of the property is Knockranny House, a country residence dating from circa 1820. Set in an elevated position overlooking the lake, the house now requires restoration but offers buyers the opportunity to revive a historic Irish estate in a rare waterfront setting.
The sale also includes a collection of original stone stables, coach houses and traditional courtyard buildings, providing further development potential, subject to planning permission.
The estate lies directly across the lake from Kilronan Castle and both properties once formed part of the wider King-Tenison estate, one of the region's most influential landed holdings.
Despite its secluded setting, the property is within easy reach of Carrick-on-Shannon, approximately 12km away, while Kilronan Castle Estate and Spa is located just 3km from the gates. Outdoor pursuits including boating, fishing, walking and golf are readily accessible, with Lough Key Forest Park and a number of renowned golf courses nearby.
Described by selling agents Savills as a "once-in-a-generation" opportunity, Knockranny Estate offers prospective purchasers the chance to restore a significant historic residence "on one of the most distinctive waterfront sites to come to the market in the region in recent years".
