For the first time in centuries, a 751-acre Irish estate has hit the market for $14.8 million.
Known as Barne Estate, the Emerald Isle historic house, located in County Tipperary — an hour drive from the cities of both Cork and Limerick — is set in a landscaped parkland.
Known as one of the largest tillage farms in Ireland, the estate comes with a château-style house that dates back to the 17th century, and comes with a trout lake and a nature reserve, the listing notes.
Occupying roughly 17,000 square feet over four floors, a number of the home’s original period features still remain. Features of the main home include an entrance hall, a drawing room, a morning room, a library, a wine cellar, a game room and 12 bedrooms.
Accompanying the main house is a range of traditional and modern farm buildings.

The estate’s agricultural state has earned the farm several prestigious accolades, including the “Grain Supplier of the Year” award.
Savills, in partnership with REA Stokes & Quirk of Clonmel, holds the listing.
“The Barne Estate has been held in the same family since the 17th Century, making it a rare gem on the Irish real estate market,” James Butler, head of Residential & Country Agency at Savills, told The Post in a statement.
"we’ve already seen a high level of interest from a diverse range of potential buyers, including investors, active farmers, and farming companies.”
In addition to the tillage farm, the estate comprises expanses of woodland offering sporting potential, the listing explains.
