Location
Exceptional agricultural and residential estate in a highly accessible location
Kilree is a superb agricultural and residential estate with amenity extending in total to about 535 acres (216 hectares) of ring-fenced land. Situated in a prime agricultural area of Ireland, the historic estate is extremely accessible, with the M9 (Junction 9) 5 kilometres to the south and Kilkenny City 7 kilometres to the north.
Kilree Estate comprises an attractive variety of assets, including a charming early 19th Century country house at its core. The 6-bedroom house is set within mature parkland and includes well-balanced and beautifully proportioned accommodation. A notable feature of the estate is the impressive tree-lined driveway serving as the principal access to the house. The estate includes a range of outbuildings of traditional construction, plus extensive farm buildings laid out over four yards.
A particular advantage of the estate is the extent and quality of the farmland which lies in a ring-fenced block. The farmland at Kilree extends to about 468 acres which is presently all in rotational grass but has previously grown a variety of arable and root crops including wheat, barley and sugar beet.
In addition to its productivity, a key feature of the farmland is the excellent infrastructure, including the paddock system and access via both the public roads and a network of internal roadways.
The woods at Kilree total about 48 acres and are a combination of mature deciduous species and younger plantations of mixed species. In addition to amenity and shelter, the woods add to the diversity of the estate and provide opportunities for conservation, as well as income generation.
