Residential and agricultural estate with amenity and frontage on to Lough Ree
Rathcline is situated in picturesque County Longford, on the boundary with Roscommon, and extends to about 168 acres in two principal blocks with superb frontage on to Lough Ree.
At its heart lies a charming country house, set on an elevated site with sweeping views over the surrounding countryside. Mature gardens, rolling parkland, and a traditional courtyard with stables and storage complement the house, while additional accommodation is provided by a five-bedroom bungalow. To the east, a separate parcel includes a well-equipped farmyard with slatted sheds, traditional stores, and generous hardstanding.
The gently undulating land comprises productive pasture, silage ground, stud-railed paddocks, and mature woodland. The main block extends to about 114 acres surrounding the house, while the second block of 53 acres offers a standalone farming enterprise.
Mature woodland enhances privacy, amenity, and biodiversity across the estate, which has been carefully managed by the current owners. Rathcline offers a rare opportunity to acquire a well-balanced estate with strong agricultural capacity, recreational scope, and direct access to Lough Ree for boating and water pursuits.
Location
Set amid the tranquil countryside of West Longford, Rathcline enjoys a superb location on the shores of Lough Ree, just 4 kilometres from the vibrant riverside town of Lanesborough.
Lough Ree, meaning King's Lake in Irish, is the second largest of the three major lakes along the River Shannon. Renowned for its natural beauty, it is a haven for water sports enthusiasts and anglers alike.
The lake's shoreline is dotted with walking trails, while the surrounding area is steeped in history and folklore.
Lanesborough, where the River Shannon meets Lough Ree, lies at the junction of Counties Longford and Roscommon, and is a lively hub for boating, angling, kayaking, and lakeside walks. Local highlights such as the Commons North Woodland Walk, marina, and riverfront parklands enhance its outdoor appeal, while the town offers a full range of amenities, including shops, cafés, pubs, and a health centre. The award-winning Lough Ree Distillery adds further charm and supports the area's growing reputation as a visitor destination.
The county town of Longford lies just 14 km from Rathcline, with Athlone 41 km to the south, both offering an extended range of shops, services, and amenities.
The estate benefits from excellent transportation links, including easy access to the N63 connecting Longford and Roscommon. Regular bus and rail services run from both towns, providing convenient access to Galway and Dublin City, while Dublin Airport is approximately 137 kilometres distant.
The area surrounding Rathcline is renowned for its dairy, arable, and stock-rearing farms and, as such, has a well-developed agricultural infrastructure including a good selection of merchants, milk processors, livestock markets, and abattoirs.
