In all about 8.60 hectares (22 acres) FOR SALE FREEHOLD BY PRIVATE TREATY BALLYMAGOOLY HOUSE Ballymagooly House is a character country property set in a dramatic elevated setting on a limestone outcrop overlooking the river Blackwater. The two-storey house was converted from the former coaching houses and stables of the original Ballymagooly House, a three storey over basement bow-ended house, demolished in the 1960s. The property retains the original gate lodge, tree-lined drive and walled garden. According to Anna-Maria Hajba\'s \'Houses of Cork\', Ballymagooly is the site of one of earliest Roche castles, built here in 1344. The property was sold to the Cotter family of nearby Rockforest House in 1682 for 2782 pounds. The castle was probably in ruins by the early 18th Century when the original Ballymagooly House and outbuildings were constructed, possibly by John Norcott who died here in 1719.

The main house has undergone comprehensive modernization and upgrading in the late 1990s with the impressive yet manageable accommodation including reception hall, four reception rooms and four bedrooms with the annexe comprising of a further two reception rooms and five bedrooms. The annexe would suit incorporation into the main house or use as a guest or granny flat, staff or home office wing.
