The Orchard, Moyode Demesne, Craughwell, Co. Galway

The Orchard in Moyode Demesne consists of circa 3.34 acres and is enclosed by the original demesne walls.

The property represents a very rare opportunity to purchase a piece of Irish history. The orchard was attached to Moyode Castle, which was the ancestral home of the Burton Persse's who once owned 3,000 acres in the locality. During the early 1800s Moyode played a central role in the establishment of the Castle Boy Hunt, which was superseded by the Galway Blazers.

The orchard, which is entered through a wonderfully intact belfry, is enclosed by the original demesne stone walls making it one of the most private pieces of land to come to the market in recent years. These walls are approx 18 feet in height and were originally used to protect the orchard from the locals whose pastime was stealing the fruit grown inside.

Within the walls is a two-storey house in need of restoration. Subject to planning permission this orchard would make the most spectacular and private location for a substantial country home.
