It is the first time that the estate has been offered for sale in over 380 years. The castle occupies a private situation in the heart of the estate. A range of traditional outbuildings adjoin the castle, with a wing of the castle and part of the traditional outbuildings having been converted to create a comfortable family home. The estate extends to about 102 acres, with the grounds being a particular feature and lying within a ring-fence. They include mature gardens mainly laid to lawn and surrounding the castle, ancient and young woods, and productive farmland. History Parts of Castle Fogarty date from the 16th Century. It was the seat of the O Fogarty clan until 1790 when it passed by marriage in 1790 to Lanigans and then by marriage in 1865 to a Ryan of the then neighbouring estate of Inch and then by inheritance to Ryans until the present day. The castle is now a ruin, having been burnt in 1922 following its occupation by the Northampton Regiment prior to Irish independence. Following this, the owners undertook a development programme to create a family home within one tower of the castle and part of the traditional outbuildings. The castle has been home to a number of famous occupants. Cornelius O Fogarty, the former owner, fought in 1690 at the Battle of the Boyne and was Captain on the side of James II. He owned and played the O Fogarty Harp which has remained in ownership in the family ever since. In more recent times, Vivian Ryan was High Sheriff of Tipperary in 1887, Valentine Ryan was a pioneering alpine climber and Mervyn Ryan was manager of Argentine railways and also led the third ascent of Aconcagua. Location and Amenities Castle Fogarty is located close to the towns of Thurles (9km) and Cashel (21km) in County Tipperary, also referred to as the Premier County. In Irish, the local town Thurles means Stronghold of the Fogartys and the O Fogarty harp is the town coat of arms, in these ways signifying the historical presence of that family name within the area. Thurles, whose Hayes Hotel was the birthplace of the Gaelic Athletic Association, provides a range of amenities, services and education. Semple Stadium is the venue for many important GAA associated events. Fishing, boating and sailing are offered on Lough Derg, one of Ireland s largest lakes (32,000 acres), which is navigable over its total length. Lough Derg Yacht Club is 47 km in distance at Dromineer. The house is located within the premier Tipperary hunt country, with the Tipperary, North Tipperary, Ormond, Kilmogany and Golden Vale packs, all situated within the county.

4 There is racing at nearby Thurles, Clonmel and Tipperary Racecourses. In addition, there are a number of premier breeding establishments, with the county being synonymous with horse breeding and equestrian pursuits. Golfing enthusiasts are well catered for at the nearby 18-hole courses at Thurles and Dundrum Golf Clubs. There are many pleasant walks nearby including the Devil s Bit and Silvermines Mountains.
