montalto estate

Montalto, nestled beautifully in the heart of the picturesque Co.

Down countryside in Ballynahinch, is a privately-owned demesne

which dates back to the early 1600s. In pre-plantation times the

estate was originally owned by Patrick McCartan. However, due to

his involvement in the 1641 Rebellion, his Ballynahinch lands were

confiscated, and in 1657 the townland was purchased by Sir George

Rawdon. Circa 1765, his descendant Sir John Rawdon – First Earl of

Moira – built a mansion property on the estate: this is the house that

we now know as Montalto House.

The estate has been almost exclusively, a family home since Lord

Moira built the first house here. Nowadays Montalto offers visitors the

use of 400 acres of rolling Irish countryside, which includes wonderful

trails and gardens and a chance to explore this historic demesne and

reconnect with nature.

This purpose-built conferences and events venue, with an 1850s

listed mill building at its heart, can accommodate a broad spectrum of

activities suitable for both corporate and private clients. These include

clay shooting, zip line, fly fishing, falconry, archery, wine tasting,

kayaking, cookery demonstrations and much more...

As well as weddings and corporate business, they can also

accomodate a wide range of alternative events, ranging from

intimate private parties to high octane car rallies. Throw into the mix

country game fairs, TV filming and trail racing...and it’s clear that the

possibilities are endless.
