Property Description

As the name suggests Mill Island is a magical property. The imposing stone five bedroomed house was built in the late 1700s as the mill manager s residence and functioned as such until the 1920 s. The house was extended in the 1930 s.

Mill Island covers 23.5 acres, 19 of which enjoy frontage to the Kings River and include two picturesque mill races, while the remaining 4.5 acres are directly across the R699 from the farmyard gate and contain two large stables and store. The concreted farmyard contains a further four stables, hay barn, garage and numerous out buildings. The residence is adjacent to the Mill building.

The very large gardens feature a fairy tale wooden bridge to a garden island which nurtures many mature and rare trees. The gardens teem with birdlife from tree-creepers, kingfishers and dippers to a resident rookery.

The historic St James s Well, known for its Pattern Day in the past, supplies water to Mill Island. Historically the Priest s Hole in the drawing room of Mill House hid fugitives from the Crown in Penal Times as well as former Irish President Eamon De Valera, during the Civil War. During World War 2 the mill wheel supplied all the electricity for Mill Island and the then working mill. Mill Island is situated across the road from Callan Golf Club, 3 km from Callan and just 23 km from Kilkenny City.
