116-acre Doonass House sells at pre-Christmas auction for €1.65m

The lands of the property are in excellent condition, according to the selling agent, with the majority in permanent pasture and laid out in rolling parkland with many mature trees. 

Shortly before the Christmas break, there was another successful public auction at GVM’s Limerick City auction rooms of a large holding near the village of Clonlara, Co Clare.

The property in question encompassed 116 acres of a former estate — Doonass House. Located 3km southeast of the village of Clonlara and 40km northeast of Limerick city on the banks of the River Shannon, the house had been through a fascinating and chequered history before being completely gutted by fire in 2009.
