It was built to entertain and it has been a home to families, friendship, love and laugher for over 250+ years. Sitting on ~3 acres of lush grounds and calming trees, this manor house is ~2.5 hours’ drive from Shannon airport or 75 minutes from Cork airport. This is the oldest house in Kenmare, filled with old world charm and antiques. Just minutes on foot to shops, bars and restaurants, a short stroll to the sea and nature walks.
Shelburne Lodge (c. 1769) was built by and was the original home of the 2nd Earl of Shelburne, Dublin born Sir William Petty (FitzMaurice added later) (1737-1805). Around 1760, he inherited vast areas of land in the Kenmare area through his grandmother (Anne (Petty) FitzMaurice), a daughter of Sir William Petty. Later he commissioned the building of the town of Kenmare in 1775. He had a great love of the area and lived in this home as a young man. His city home was at St. Stephen's Green, Dublin. Around 1776 he entered politics and became a member of the Parliament of Ireland, opposite Trinity College, Dublin. He had a successful political career, becoming Prime Minister of Great Britain on July 4th, 1782 until March 26th, 1783. The Treaty of Paris (1783) which brought the conflict between Britain and the United States to an end was signed with US leaders - John Adams, Benjamin Franklin and John Jay among others. Lord Shelburne was popular with the US leaders and following the signing of the Treaty of Paris, a town was named after him, Lansdowne, Pennsylvania. Other areas in the US were also named Shelburne to honor his memory.
Shelburne Lodge is a charming (in town) Georgian country house. Close to fine dining establishments, five star hotels and many outdoor activities. Just 30 minutes by car to Killarney, Muckross House and Ross Castle. On the Ring of Kerry and Ring of Beara routes, Kerry Way hiking, biking, fishing and much, much more.
