Co. Meath Median Price | Map | Street view | Nearby | Property Description: | Athcarne Castle is a ruined Elizabethan castle outside the town of Duleek and nestled on it's grounds you will find The Orchard..... a hidden gem.
This is a stunning site set on approx 1.4 acres / 0.57 ha of grounds in an idyllic country setting. Truly unique not only for it's history but for it's appearance, high stone walls surround the site offering superb natural shelter and privacy. This is an opportunity not to be missed.
There is an immense sense of history here which makes it so unique. Athcarne Castle is located six miles from the site of the Battle of the Boyne and in 1690. King James II is said to have stayed overnight at the castle on the eve of the battle. The castle was inhabited until mid 20th century, and has since fallen into disrepair.
The location is excellent with Duleek 2 miles, M1 Motorway 4 miles, Ashbourne 11 miles (approx). Local needs will apply - the site is being sold as and not subject to planning permission being obtained. |
