Sleeps 12 - 14 People
€10000 - €13000 Per Week

Situated near Rathvilly in the north of Co Carlow, 50 miles of Dublin, the estate has been a family home for eleven generations and covers almost 1,000 acres and includes Lisnavagh House, several cottages, grazing & tillage land, 250 acres of mainly hardwood woodland, the impressive Farmyard and Victorian gardens with 14 acres of Pleasure Grounds, Mixed Borders, a Walled Garden and Rock Gardens, including the gorgeous American Gardens and majestic Irish Yew Walk.

The house Lisnavagh exists since 1696, when the first house was built by William Bunbury. In 1847 the scotish architect Daniel Robertson was commissioned to built a new house and the farmyard. 1952 and again in 2005 the house has been fully rewired and was undergoing a redecoration. All renovations are being carried out using traditional materials, such as lime plaster and mortars.

The name “Lisnavagh” is believed to come from the Irish Lios na BhFea, which means garden or enclosure of beech. The estate is fully owned and managed by the McClintock Bunbury family. The Bunburys descend from a norman Baron de St Pierre, who served with William the Conqueror in 1066. Part of the Bunbury family left Cheshire in the 1660`s and settled in Co Carlow, where they became an important part of the ruling elite in Ireland and, by 1860, the estate at Lisnavagh had evolved into one of the most advanced and efficient farms in the country. In 1879, Thomas McClintock Bunbury of Lisnavagh succeeded his uncle to become Lord Rathdonnell. His great-grandson Benjamin, the present Lord Rathdonnell, succeeded to Lisnavagh in 1959.
