For those interested in buying an Irish castle, we would like to profile a 16th century tower house castle located in Tipperary, Ireland. Killahara Castle has recently been put up for sale by its owners, who have recently done extensive conservation work to restore the castle.
First built by the Donagh O’Fogartie in about 1550, the castle has changed many hands over the centuries. The current owners purchased the castle in 2006, by which time the site had deteriorated into an empty shell with no roof, no floors, and no windows. The owners then undertook a major conservation project to restore the castle. The restoration was completed in November of 2008, and Killahara Castle has since been serving as a castle holiday home that can accomodate up to 12 guests.
The living area is approximately 3,100 sq. feet. The rooms starting from the
ground:
Ground floor:
1 large area including kitchen and dining area, cast iron stove
1 washroom
