A Historic Lakeside Manor, Exclusively Yours
Location: Co. Sligo
Nestled amidst a magnificent 1,000-acre private estate in County Sligo, Temple House is a breathtaking classical Georgian mansion that exudes historic charm and tranquil grandeur. Overlooking the serene waters of Templehouse Lake and surrounded by lush woodlands, this luxury country house offers a captivating glimpse into Ireland's aristocratic past.
The estate derives its name from the Knights Templar, who established a castle on the grounds in 1216, the historic ivy-clad ruins of which still stand near the water’s edge today. Since 1665, the property has been the ancestral home of the Perceval family, who lovingly maintain its heritage. The current mansion, redesigned in the 19th century, boasts spectacular proportions. Inside, guests are instantly greeted by vast, elegantly proportioned reception rooms, soaring ceilings, ornate plasterwork, and a treasure trove of family portraits and antique furnishings.
Today, Temple House Estate operates as an award-winning exclusive venue, blending authentic vintage luxury with warm, unpretentious Irish hospitality. Visitors can explore miles of private walking trails, enjoy exceptional seasonal pike fishing, or simply relax by a crackling, roaring log fire. It is not merely a place to stay, but an immersive historical retreat celebrating the timeless magic of the beautiful rural Irish landscape.
