An historic Wicklow country estate, complete with the ruins of a 13th-century castle, has been listed for sale with an asking price of €6.75 million. The sprawling property, known as Dunran Demesne, is located in Ashford and spans nearly 100 acres of landscaped gardens, woodlands, and parkland.
The late-Georgian main residence, a six-bedroom house built in 1795, offers a glimpse into Ireland’s past, while featuring modern upgrades. Owned by General Cuningham – later Lord Rossmore – in the 18th century, the home has been meticulously restored to preserve its architectural integrity.
The estate’s crown jewel is arguably the ruins of Dunran Castle, a medieval stronghold that dates back to the 13th century.
