The impressive Coolmain Castle estate in Kilbrittain has entered the market having had a long list of notable residents in its past.
The creator of Mickey Mouse, Walt Disney himself, loved the picturesque area, holidaying there often before his nephew purchased the glorious Coolmain pile.
It has been in the hands of Disney for 35 years after it was purchased by Roy E. Disney, a nephew of Walt Disney and vice-chairman of the Walt Disney Company, in 1989.
Under the Disney name, the castle was lovingly restored and has been meticulously preserved ever since.
Among the many famous prior owners was Hollywood photographer Bob Willougby, accredited as the brains behind the motion picture still.
Coolmain Castle is situated just minutes away from beautiful Kinsale, in its idyllic 56 acres with sea views over Courtmacsherry Bay.
It has been listed as a joint sale between West Cork's Hodnett Forde and Lisney Sotheby's in Dublin.
The home itself dates back to the 18th Century, combining modern and traditional elements including a stone turret and coloured local stone walls.
