One of the country’s notable country estates has come on the market in Co Meath. Dowth Hall stands on c552ac and is located between Slane and Drogheda.

This fine property is for sale from Sherry Fitzgerald Country Homes by private treaty with an asking price of €10m for the entire. It is on offer in lots.

The land is in a mix of grass paddocks, tillage, forestry and woodland and is good quality, as land is in this area. The estate borders the River Boyne for over 3.2km.

The land around Dowth Hall is good quality and in grassland and woods.

Agritech company Devenish Nutrition has owned the estate for some years and began conversion of the farm to production of zero-carbon beef and lamb, in a sustainability project.

The land breaks down as 450ac under grass fields and tillage and the balance under woodland, gardens, roads and buildings. There are no significant farmyards.

This is Netterville Manor, over 6,000 square feet in area and in good condition.
