The property has been put on the market by Coliers estate agents and Matt O’Sullivan Auctioneers, who have described the location as an ‘area of natural beauty’.
The listing reads: “The Estate has a long and colourful history, owned, and often visited by many well-known Irish and International families. Set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, Inver Lodge and the Inverbeg Estate has been a destination for sporting enthusiasts and a sanctuary away from the pressures of life.
“This outstanding Estate includes three residential units, sea trout fishing over approximately 10 lakes and interconnecting rivers, as well as shooting rights over approximately 9,600 acres.
“The principal residence on the Estate, Inver Lodge, stands on its own private island of approximately 1.9 acres. The island is surrounded by Lough Invernagleragh with a water surface area of approximately 18.4 acres. Inver Lodge is accessed by a pontoon bridge linking the island to the mainland or by lake boat.
“The second residence, Shannavara House, is situated on the mainland close to the harbour and with boat sheds nearby. Shannavara is a two-storey detached house with stunning views of the surrounding gardens, countryside, and lake.
“The third residence, the Gate Lodge, is located adjacent to the main entrance of the Estate.
“The extensive private gardens have been carefully restored and maintained under the stewardship of the present owners. The wild and mostly natural landscape creates a truly tranquil and serene setting, with the intermingling of natural flowering shrubberies, carpet-like lawns, wild and natural old woodland, and extensive walkways with ponds and viewing areas. The rejuvenation of the gardens has taken immense effort by the current owner, under the tutelage of the renowned Rhododendron and Azalea expert Dr Lothar Heft, from the Rhododendron Park in Breman, Germany.
“The 10 lakes and associated rivers cover an extensive area of water, allowing for many long hours of pleasurable private angling. The main catches are Sea Trout, Brown Trout, and native Irish coarse fish.
“The exclusive shooting rights cover an area of wild and natural cover extending to approximately 9,600 acres. A wide variety of game is available, including duck, pheasant, snipe, woodcock, and deer.”
