Description
DNG Martin O'Connor Estate Agents are honoured to bring to the market a remarkable coastal estate steeped in history and natural beauty, the magnificent Errislannan Manor, located on its own private peninsula in the heart of Connemara.
Set within an expansive c. 220 acre holding, this exceptional property offers a rare combination of grandeur, heritage, and potential. Surrounded by sheltered woodlands, wildflower meadows, and a private trout lake, the estate enjoys total privacy just 15 minutes from Clifden, the cultural heart of Connemara.
Originally constructed in the 18th century as a hunting lodge, the manor has evolved over generations into a substantial family residence, sympathetically updated while preserving its timeless charm.
A Home with Heritage and a Future:
A significant milestone in the history of the estate has just been reached, with full planning permission granted on the 1st April 2024 for an extensive renovation and expansion project. The approved works include:
Removal of non-original internal walls, conservatory, and shed (19.5 sqm)
Construction of a 264 sqm extension, increasing the total floor area of the house to 587.5 sqm
A full-scale refurbishment programme covering 323.5 sqm of the existing house
Modern wastewater treatment upgrades, drainage works, and sensitive landscaping
Development supported by a Natura Impact Statement, reflecting the property's ecological value in the townlands of Kill and Drinagh.
This exciting project offers a blank canvas to design a luxury retreat or family estate, fully aligned with the property's original character and the spectacular surrounding environment.
Accommodation
Inside, the manor is filled with atmosphere from its thick stone walls and elegant sash windows to open fireplaces and original joinery. The current layout comprises:
Welcoming entrance hallway with fireplace
Formal sitting room
Bay-windowed study overlooking the grounds
Generous dining room connected to a traditional kitchen
Extensive ancillary areas, including a pantry, larder, w.c, utility and rear boot room
Upstairs includes:
Six bedrooms, five of which are doubles
Two bathrooms
Principal bedroom enjoying dual-aspect views and an open fire place.
This charming and atmospheric home tells a story of generations past from candlelit evenings before electricity arrived, to vibrant family life immersed in the West of Ireland's landscape.
Equestrian Excellence
The estate is home to one of the most respected riding centres in the region and has deep roots within the community. Founded to support local causes, it now serves as a vibrant equestrian hub offering:
Welcome/reception cabin with classroom, kitchen and WC
The Steading: a multi-functional hub with offices, observation room and storage
Main Stable Yard: two tack rooms, grooming bays, loose boxes, carriage house, drying area, and WC
Two-bedroom staff apartment above yard facilities
Additional outbuildings including machinery hangar, stone hay barn, outdoor arena, and poultry house
With expansive grazing lands and countless private trails across the estate, Errislannan Manor is a haven for horse lovers and equestrian professionals alike.
Gardens & Grounds
Carefully developed since the 1850s, the gardens at Errislannan Manor are as enchanting as the house itself. Offering a unique microclimate, the grounds flourish with camellias, rhododendrons, montbretia, and swathes of spring bulbs.
The property is proudly included in the Irish Gardens for Charity initiative, with a beautifully documented planting legacy paying tribute to the many hands that have shaped it across generations.
Unrivalled Location
Errislannan Peninsula is one of Connemara's most treasured landscapes, known for its dramatic coastline, expansive moorlands, and mountain vistas. Though it feels like a private sanctuary, the property is located just minutes from the bustling town of Clifden, with its array of artisan shops, gourmet eateries, cultural festivals and schools.
Galway City, the capital of the West, lies within convenient reach for business, education and travel, while outdoor pursuits including sailing, salmon and sea fishing, hiking, and world-class golf are all close at hand.
A Rare Opportunity in a Legendary Setting
Whether you envision a private sanctuary, a hospitality venture, or the continuation of the estate's renowned equestrian traditions, Errislannan Manor offers a truly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become the next steward of this extraordinary property.
