The stately Dundarave House and estate, beside Bushmills, County Antrim, and within close proximity to the Giant's Causeway, is for sale.
I have already written about Dundarave House and the Macnaghten Baronets.
The sale includes 549 acres of land.
I was aware of the imminent sale several months ago.

Your new stately home, perhaps?
What a pity in many ways that these estates have to be sold - I suppose there will be yet another retirement home, golf course and expensive holiday homes in the pipeline. While I am uncomfortable with the concept of too few having so much, we should be thankful for the old landowners who maintained a way of life which was, in many ways a sort of conservation of the 'natural' Ireland. I always felt that the rise of the hillside to the woods of Dundarave, "bookended" by the Causeway and Dunluce, provided a natural backdrop to the Portballintrae foreshore and the Bann-foot. Thank heavens the National Trust has been able to save some of these estates and great houses.
