Lissadell on The Beach - Lissadell Estate, Yeats Country

A magnificent 2,800 sq ft luxury residence set within the historic 418-acre Lissadell Estate, where the Atlantic Ocean is quite literally on your doorstep.

Yeats—just a five-minute walk away, this is one of Ireland's most exceptional coastal escapes.

Lovingly restored to an exquisite standard, the former Estate Manager's House combines heritage craftsmanship with contemporary comfort. Hand-limed oak floors, William Morris wallpapers, Farrow & Ball heritage colours, Art Deco stained-glass doors, individually sourced fireplaces and original artwork from the renowned Lissadell Art Collection create a residence of timeless elegance and character.

— W. B. Yeats
