Savills has been appointed to market the 258-acre estate on the Donegal-Derry border. Birdstown Estate comes with a guide price of €2,295,000 and, according to Savills, offers “an exceptional opportunity to acquire a property that blends residential, agricultural, and amenity assets.” The vast 6,422 square foot (596.62 square meters) house offer breathtaking views over the surrounding countryside and includes five bedrooms, three reception rooms, and a swimming pool complex. The extensive garden grounds and walled garden further enhance the appeal of this property, offering tranquillity and privacy. The estate includes an impressive stone-built courtyard, containing a range of traditional stores and modern agricultural facilities. To the east of the house, a farmyard features slatted sheds and ample hardstanding space, ideal for agricultural use. The land extends to 258 acres, consisting of 190 acres of prime grassland and 64 acres of mature woodland, all within a contiguous, ring-fenced block. The property is traversed by an internal network of private tree-lined roads and tracks, featuring original stone walls, steps, and water features. The fields are divided by mature hedgerows, creating a peaceful and scenic environment. Savills say: “Birdstown Estate presents a rare opportunity for the next owner to acquire a historic residential and agricultural estate that offers immense potential for development or diversification. “The land, currently leased under a fixed-term agreement, provides numerous possibilities, including the opportunity to offset carbon footprints or explore eco-friendly ventures. “The mature woodland surrounding the estate offers not only privacy but also significant amenity value. For those interested in land stewardship, Birdstown Estate provides an opportunity to invest in sustainable management practices
