Plush Lyons Demesne Estate in Ireland for Sale

A couple of years ago, this spectacular estate in County Kildare, Ireland had an asking price of $100 million. Today that umber went down to only $39 million, which makes it incredibly appealing for anyone who wishes a majestic home on a 300-acre property.

The former owner of the Lyons Demesne Estate was the late Dr.Tony Ryan, cofounder of Ryanair discount airline. He had invested some $120 million in the restoration of the house before he passed away in 2007. The formal gardens and the stately mansion are absolutely wonderful, and they represent an excellent example of classic Georgian architecture.

The historic manor was built in 1785 for Lord Cloncurry and it still is a remarkable one today. Superb reception rooms, 11 bedroom suites, a private cinema, a billiards room, a wine cellar and an indoor swimming pool are all part of the offer.
