A spectacular castle – straight from a fairy tale – is on the market for £3.35 million for the first time in 65 years.
Built in 1850, Elmfield is an architectural gem nestled in the Northern Irish countryside surrounded by lush landscape with stunning views.
The outside with its stone facade, gabled roofs and turrets would not be out of place on the pages of a storybook.

It even has a walled garden and attractive parkland enveloping more than 90 acres of lush grounds.
The interior is no less dreamy.
Oozing old-world glamour oak panels and fittings are complemented with cream walls, rich patterned rugs and gilded mirrors, a sumptuous blend of unparalleled luxury and comfort.
At more than 6,900 sq ft, the home boasts six bedrooms, four bathrooms and sprawling living areas, as reported on Luxury Property News.
There is a grand dining room, a drawing room with standout Italian marble fireplace with double French doors that open out onto the garden terrace.
The drawing room connects to a cosy family sitting room – one of many spaces to relax with plush sofas and beautiful furnishings – with double doors opening into a garden room with views across the meticulous planting.
The chef’s kitchen comes with an Aga range and adjoining family room that, in turn, leads to a glass-enclosed atrium.
Outside, stone pathways offer gentle walks around the estate with plenty of seating areas to take a break and take in the views.
The estate also comprises a three-bedroom cottage, a two-bedroom gate lodge, and a two-bedroom courtyard apartment, offering flexible accommodation options for guests or staff.
The courtyard and former stable yard have been expertly renovated to include a stunning two-story studio and high-tech conference complex, making the property suitable for a range of commercial or personal uses.
James Butler, director at Savills Ireland, said: “Elmfield is a truly exceptional property that represents the best of Northern Ireland’s heritage.
“The combination of historic charm and modern amenities creates a unique living experience, while the estate’s diverse features offer something for everyone, from residential to agricultural and commercial uses.”
Neal Morrison, also a director at Savills, added, “The breadth of opportunity at Elmfield is unparalleled.
“Whether you are looking for a family home steeped in history, an investment in Northern Ireland’s thriving agricultural sector, or a versatile property for business or leisure pursuits, it truly stands out as a one-of-a-kind estate.”
Nestled in the rolling hills of County Down, Elmfield is ideal for nature lovers with superb walks and trails, and for socialising local shops, bars and gourmet restaurants are close by.
And it is less than an hour’s drive to Belfast.
The once-in-a-lifetime property is on the market with James Butler from Savills.
