18th-century Lotabeg House on market for €7m

The last time they came to Lotabeg House, it was by the busload — and in their thousands.

In marked contrast, with the house and grounds now for sale, it is viewing by private appointment, select parties only, who’ll have millions of euros at the ready, and development in mind.

Two years after a spectacular contents auction, which saw 7,000 people visit the long-mothballed period Lotabeg House on the edge of Cork City, poring over the finery amassed from previous centuries’ travel, from China, India and lost empires, it’s time for this hidden home to find a buyer.
