LOCATED ON 15 acres of gardens at the foot of Devil’s Bit Mountain in Co Tipperary, Killoskehane Castle is an awe-inspiring property. 

Priced at €1.75 million through Helen Cassidy Auctioneers, the historic residence dates all the way back to the 1600s. 

It underwent extensive renovations during the 1800s, and today stands as a regal nine-bed, five-bath mansion.
