The property overlooks a stunning 1,000-acre primeval forest of oak, birch, alder and willow - the last surviving remnants of Ireland’s ancient woodland, The Irish Sun reports. The estate also contains the oldest oak tree in Ireland.

The Abbey Leix Estate is so named because it marks the site of a mid-12th-century religious settlement of French Cistercian monks. An ancient stone bridge on the property, called Monk’s Bridge, is where the monks located their original abbey.

The de Vesci family owned the estate from 1675 to 1995 and cultivated the stunning landscape. The house was designed in 1773 by noted architect James Wyatt.
