HISTORY:
The Castle at Ballytarsna was constructed by Sir William Hackett as a home for his family during the late 15th century.
The Castle remained occupied until the year 1655 when the Hackett family were ousted by the British Parliamentarian forces during the 'Wars of the Three Kingdoms'.
It was during this brutal conflict that the castle fell into disrepair and subsequently had remained in a derelict condition until modern times.
The extensive restoration process to the Castle was undertaken by the previous owner over a eleven-year period which commenced during the late 1990's.
It has taken huge skill, knowledge and dedication by the vendors and their craftspeople to recreate this magnificent piece of historic architecture in it's serene rural setting.
