Wealthy buyers or developers wanted to restore Castlemahon

THERE’S immediate development and speculative interest in the sale of fine old Castlemahon, a period home on Cork’s Castle Road near the emblematic Blackrock Castle.

But, well-heeled private house buyers are now being courted too.

Dating to the late 1700s, previously called Tarkfield, and once owned by golf legend Jimmy Bruen, Castlemahon, now on 1.75 acres, has been a private nursing home for 21 years, but has now been put up for sale with an open-ended future.
