Itâs hard to know where to begin to describe Ballyin Garden House, located just outside the historic town of Lismore. But the description in Ryderâs History of Waterford from 1824 as âa relief to the mind to wander through this charming spotâ captures the essence of this endearing country home.
The gardens are both famous and spectacular and, though now private, were once open to the public and are one of the main reasons the owner purchased the historic house on 2.4 hectares (6 acres).
âYou can spend all you want on a house, but you simply cannot build a 300-year-old garden,â says the owner, who purchased the property in 2018 for â¬1.01 million. It is now âwith regretâ, he says, that he is selling, as work demands his time be spent between Copenhagen and London. The property is launching to the market through Sherry FitzGerald Country Homes seeking â¬1.1 million.
