Coolmain Castle, once Disney family retreat, hits the market in West Cork at over €7.5m

This fairytale estate, owned by the Disney family since 1989, includes 56 acres and stunning coastal views

Coolmain Castle has been used as an Irish hideaway home by generations of the Disney family after Roy E Disney (nephew of Walt) purchased it from US Hollywood ‘silver screen’ photographer Bob Willoughby 36 years ago.

The chance to buy a real Disney castle and 56 acres of Disney land thrown in has just come to the international property market in coastal West Cork.

It’s yours for a far from Mickey Mouse sum, as it’s expected to fetch over €7.5m. Make a wish upon a star?
