This Irish castle could be yours for €450,000

A CASTLE in a famous estate in County Cork is on the market for €450,000.

Ballintotis Castle, in the east of the county, is a well-preserved late medieval Irish Tower House dating back from the 1500s, situated on approximately half an acre of land.

Advertised by Daft.ie, the property is located two miles west of the famous Castlemartyr Estate in Co Cork.

The castle was constructed by the Imokilly Fitzgeralds and later passed onto the Boyle Family branch, whose main house was at the Castlemartyr Estate.

The castle is about 15 metres in height and includes three main chambers with thick walls of approximately 1.5 metres.

Extensive renovation of Ballintotis Castle began in 2008 under the management of the current owner and included installation of pyramid glass and leaded roof, window repair with bronze encasement and slim frame profiles, as well as new plumbing and electrical installations.

The property is offered for sale with the furniture.
