Massbrook House, Lough Conn, Co Mayo is currently on the market.

Described by agent Roseanne De Vere Hunt, Sherry FitzGerald, as a “piece of heaven”, Massbrook is close to the popular Pontoon meeting point - the spot where fishermen and people meet to take their boat out on Lough Conn - with Foxford just seven miles away and Ballina 14 miles.

Featuring Nephin mountain as a backdrop, Massbrook House, which extends to 6,800 square feet, is nestled in the centre of its own 113 acres of forestry and amenity grounds, offering a complete haven of peace and tranquillity.

Just 40 minutes from Knock airport, the property is owned by former President of Ireland, Mary Robinson and her husband Nick. They acquired the property back in 1994 from Mr and Mrs Denis Ferranti who also owned Castlebar airport at one point.

Selling agent Roseanne De Vere Hunt and Philip Guckian, Sherry FitzGerald Country Homes, Farms and Estates, Dublin and Nuala Feeney from Sherry FitzGerald Feeney West, Ballina are offering the property for sale by private treaty at a guide price in the region of €2.75 million. To date, a steady line of interest has emanated from the US and the UK.
