Nestled within the demesne of Killeen Castle, Loughmore Wood presents an exclusive collection of 22 contemporary homes. Surrounded by nature and steeped in history, this setting combines privacy, prestige, and a lifestyle for homeowners beyond compare.
In the tree-lined grounds of Killeen Castle, Loughmore Wood introduces a limited collection of detached family homes. This gated development is defined by its natural surroundings, where mature woodland, landscaped gardens, and the grandeur of the Castle create a special place to call home.
Killeen Castle is a magnificent, fully restored castle dating back to 1181, set amidst 600 acres of rolling parkland. It served as the ancestral seat of the Plunkett family, the Earls of Fingall, from 1403 until the 1950s. In the early 19th century, the 8th and 9th Earls commissioned renowned architects Francis Johnston and later James Sheil, who together shaped the design of the building as it stands today. In 2006, its current owners undertook a meticulous restoration of the exterior, transforming it into the breathtaking landmark that now lies nestled in the heart of this lush estate.Against this timeless backdrop, Loughmore Wood offers a new chapter in the story of Killeen Castle.
Today, the Killeen Castle Estate is home to an exclusive Jack Nicklaus Signature Design 18-hole golf course, which opened in 2009 and proudly hosted the Solheim Cup in 2011. Set across 350 acres, the beautifully maintained course is framed by clusters of ancient trees—including Ash, Oak, Sycamore, and Beech—offering a rich, natural backdrop. Keep an eye out for the distinctive Hawthorn tree at the 12th green, often referred to as the “magic tree.” With generous space between fairways, the surrounding woodlands are given room to flourish, enhancing the course’s unique character.
The lush, green demesne of Killeen Castle provides an ideal retreat for those seeking countryside living without sacrificing convenience. Located just minutes from the vibrant town of Dunshaughlin—a rapidly expanding hub for commuters, thanks to its exceptional connectivity to Dublin City and beyond. Killeen Castle is located less than 45 minutes from Dublin City Centre and just 30 minutes from Dublin Airport.
Despite this prime location, residents of Loughmore Wood enjoy a true sense of peace and privacy, surrounded by nature in an unrivaled sylvan setting. These exceptional homes are nestled within mature woodland and bordered by historic stonework, ensuring a tranquil setting. Adding to this sense of security and exclusivity, Loughmore Wood is part of a private, gated community.
