Private Waterfront Estate in the West of Ireland

Occupying a spectacular waterfront position on the shores of Lough Meelagh, Knockranny Estate extends across a distinguished about 45 acre peninsula with 0.8 km of private shoreline. Surrounded by mature woodland, pastures and unspoilt countryside, the estate enjoys a remarkable sense of privacy and seclusion within one of the most picturesque settings in the west of Ireland.

At the heart of the estate stands Knockranny House, a historic country residence dating from circa 1820. Occupying an elevated position overlooking the lake and surrounding grounds, the residence offers an extraordinary canvas for restoration and the opportunity to revive a distinguished private estate within an exceptional waterfront setting.
Directly across the lake lies the esteemed Kilronan Castle Estate. Both properties formed part of the wider King-Tenison estate, whose influence shaped this landscape for generations. This shared heritage lends Knockranny a rare provenance and places it among the area's most historically significant private estates.

Complementing the principal residence is a collection of original stone stables, coach houses and estate buildings arranged around a traditional courtyard. Rich in character and integral to the estate's heritage, these structures provide considerable scope for restoration and ancillary uses, subject to the necessary consents.

The estate's natural setting is among its most compelling attributes. Protected by mature trees and natural screening, the property enjoys complete privacy while retaining direct access to the shoreline. The combination of extensive waterfront, historic architecture and exceptional seclusion creates an opportunity seldom encountered in today's market.

Knockranny Estate represents a unique offering: a historic waterfront estate of scale, provenance and character, presenting the opportunity to revive a private estate of exceptional character and significance.

Despite its remarkable privacy and seclusion, Knockranny Estate enjoys convenient access to many of the west of Ireland's most celebrated leisure, sporting and lifestyle amenities. Extending to about 45 acres of mature woodland and pasture, it offers the seclusion of a country estate while remaining within easy reach of local villages, towns, and essential amenities.

Directly across Lough Meelagh lies the esteemed Kilronan Castle Estate, home to a luxury hotel, award-winning spa and fine dining. The surrounding region offers an abundance of outdoor pursuits including boating, fishing, walking, cycling and equestrian activities amidst some of Ireland's most beautiful landscapes.

Carrick-on-Shannon (about 12 km), the county town of Leitrim and the principal service centre in the wider region, provides an excellent range of shops, supermarkets, schools, restaurants, cultural venues, and sporting clubs. Drumshanbo (about 10 kms) is a lively market town with additional shops, schools, and community facilities, while the nearby villages of Keadue (about 6 km) and Cootehall (about 8 kms) provide further local services.

Golf enthusiasts are particularly well served in the area. Strandhill Golf Club, regarded as one of Ireland's finest links courses, is approximately 44 kilometres away, while the renowned Enniscrone Golf Club, consistently ranked among the country's premier championship links, lies at about 80 kilometres.

Lough Key Forest Park, one of Ireland's most scenic recreational destinations, is nearby and offers woodland trails, lakeside walks and a wide range of outdoor activities.
