Saint Clerans Residence

HPS Real Estate are delighted to present to the market a unique opportunity to acquire part of the historic St. Clerans Estate, located near Craughwell in County Galway. This remarkable holding offers a rare blend of architectural character, historical significance, and natural beauty in one of Galway's most picturesque settings.

The property comprises approximately 27.67 acres of mature woodlands, manicured gardens, agricultural land, and river landscapes. Originally part of the greater St. Clerans estate—formerly known as Issercleran and established in 1784 by the Burke family—the lands on offer are steeped in history and charm.

This offering includes a beautifully appointed residence featuring three bedrooms, two reception rooms, a study, kitchen, and dining area, all set within a private, mature walled orchard.

In addition, the sale includes a number of smaller dwellings, approximately 30 purpose-built stables, a coach house, kennels, a hay barn, and a selection of outbuildings. These are all situated within a lush and private setting of prime agricultural land, mature orchards, and woodland walks, offering both seclusion and opportunity.

The wider St. Clerans estate gained international acclaim in the 20th century as the former residence of legendary film director John Huston, who purchased and restored the main manor in 1952. While the manor itself is not included, the lands and buildings on offer remain rich in historical context, with elements of the estate's legacy still evident throughout.

Architectural and natural features such as restored bridges and the meandering Saintclerans River continue to lend a tranquil and idyllic character to the property. The grounds offer excellent potential for a variety of uses, from private residence, and equestrian to tourism or hospitality/wedding venues, subject to necessary planning permissions.

In summary, this is a rare opportunity to own a significant portion of one of Ireland's most storied country estates. Surrounded by green spaces, historical features, and a network of peaceful walking and cycling routes, this property embodies the tranquillity, heritage, and timeless charm of rural Galway.

Experience the quiet grandeur and cultural depth of St. Clerans—an estate where history meets opportunity.

Please note: The main St. Clerans Manor House is not included in the sale and remains under separate private ownership.
