Revealed: The most expensive properties sold in each county last year 

Bushy Park House — which is located in Stilebawn, Enniskerry — had been on the market for several years but was eventually sold last year for €9,399,000.

Singer Chris de Burgh has narrowly edged out well-known businessman Dermot Desmond to be the seller of the most expensive private property in Ireland last year.

Figures published on the Residential Property Price Register (RPPR) show the musician’s large country mansion in Wicklow sold for just under €9.4m in June. It was the highest price paid for any home in the Republic during 2023.
