Little Sustainability Gems About the Property
The property was refurbished a number of years ago and most of the electricity is powered by solar panels and air-to-water systems, making the heating and running of the house very efficient. It was built in 1740, and some of the stone used was from a castle on the estate that's from the 15th Century, so it helps to preserve local heritage.

Owner Profile
How long have you owned the property?
Property has been in the Magill family since 1860. I along with Helen Clifford and Jonathan Sheridan lease the property from the Magills
What was it about the property that you first fell in love with?
Loved the long sweeping driveway that leads to this majestic home that still had the old world charm but is extremely cosy inside.
Are there any interesting stories in its history?
There is a cast from the 15th Century on the 15th Green in the golf club next door (Beaufort Golf Club). Stone from this castle was used to build the house. You can see this stone as you make your way to the basement for the games and TV room.
Do you have a favourite room in the property?
I love the morning room as it is a great room to light a fire in the winter and curl up with a good book or bask in the sunshine in the summer, also with a good book!
For anyone coming to stay is there anything in the surrounding area they should...Really do? Really eat? Really see?
The surrounding area is magnificent and is known and marketed as The Reeks District with the world famous MacGillycuddy Reeks Mountains being the center piece. There is a wildness about the place and you can do some many fantastic walks, cycles etc.
Lastly, what insider tip would you pass on about the property or the area?
Do a guided walk or cycle and make sure the guide is local so that you get brought to the best places. We are also not far from the Wild Atlantic Way and I would suggest taking a day at the beach, even if it is just for a walk.
