Situated on 50 acres of scenic land above the Blackwater River in Killavullen, Mallow, County Cork, this property offers a unique blend of history and modern luxury.


Carrigacunna Castle, a prime example of a medieval tower house, was built in the early 1500s. It boasts commanding views of the river valley, extending to the Ballyhoura and Galtee Mountains to the north and the Nagle Mountains to the south, which also offer extensive walking and horse-riding opportunities.


The Georgian manor house, originally constructed around 1750 and expanded in 1826 and 2003, combines historical charm with modern amenities. Meticulously restored, the house preserves original features like decorative ceiling plasterwork and fine timberwork, while integrating contemporary design elements.


The manor house includes 7,585 sq. ft (705 sq. m) of living space, featuring four reception rooms, three-bedroom suites, four bathrooms, and a one-bedroom apartment. Additional accommodations, including the “Fisherman’s Loft Apartment” and various outbuildings, increase the total living space to 16,227 sq. ft (1,508 sq. m).


Extensive renovations in the early 2000s enhanced the Georgian structure and added a contemporary extension with large glass panels, offering stunning views of the River Blackwater and allowing ample natural light. A pool complex was also added, seamlessly integrating with the historic stable yard.


The estate's picturesque riverside setting features mature and ancient trees, along with a wide variety of plants, flowers, and shrubs, across approximately 50 acres (20 hectares).


Fiona Waldron, Senior Property Negotiator at Auctioneera, expressed enthusiasm about listing the property: “Carrigacunna Castle is a remarkable estate in North Cork, blending historical significance with modern luxury within a breathtaking landscape. We are excited to present this exceptional property.”


Located just a short drive from Mallow and Fermoy and 30 minutes from Cork city, Carrigacunna Castle offers peaceful seclusion with easy access to urban amenities. Currently a private residence, the estate also has potential for use as boutique accommodation, a retreat or yoga centre, or a wedding venue.
