The Georgian country house is nestled in the heart of a 625 acre estate in Co Kildare, and comes with spectacular Victorian walled gardens, revived under the Great Gardens Restoration Scheme.
On the market for the 3rd time in its 200 year history, Ballindoolin House was built in 1822 for the Bor family of Dutch bankers who made their fortune trading in the Dutch East India Company.
After a generation of bad investments, the estate eventually passed to the Bor’s land agent, William Tyrrell. Ballindoolin House last sold in 2017 to an Austrian businessman who became enamoured with the property’s incredible history, grounds, and its proximity to Dublin.
During the Georgian era, Dublin was considered one of the jewels of the Empire, and was even preferable to London as a social hub for the elite at one time.
The estate’s family papers dating back to the earliest days—now on display in the archives of the local Maynooth University—recount the soirees, hunting parties, and country house weeks and weekends held at Ballindoolin during its heyday.
The current owners have “future-proofed” the 11,903 square foot Georgian house with upgraded central heating, new chimneys and shutters, underfloor heating, new electric, and an upgraded kitchen with a sunroom addition.
There is a wealth of original period detail throughout, including original fireplaces throughout and Hindu Gothic plasterwork detailing in the entrance hall.
The country house has 8 bedroom suites and plenty of additional space available on the two upper floors and the cellars below.
Outside the main house, find a coach yard, farm yard, and a stable yard featuring a restaurant and museum.
A dovecote and castle ruins can also be found on the estate.
