Described as a “trophy property”, Ballymagooly House, Mallow, Co Cork, has already begun to stir up a mix of national and international interest since it was launched to the market in the past fortnight. Standing on 103 acres, the property comes with no less than 7,000 square feet of residential accommodation, 900 metres of salmon fishing rights, nine acres of woodland and 82 acres of tillage and grassland.

One of the striking aspects of Ballymagooly is its unique character and charm. The beech, sycamore and horse chestnut trees on the property, which are a couple of centuries old, are not something that you can establish in a lifetime. The original walled garden, the former gate lodge and the age-old tree-lined avenue, coupled with the extensive frontage to the Blackwater river, are what make Ballymagooly distinctive. It’s the type of property that would definitely appeal to American or German buyer, but one couldn’t rule out potential equine interest given its location, less than two miles from Mallow.
