Ballyfinboy Castle has failed to sell at auction in London .
Ballyfinboy Castle, near Borrisokane, described by the auctioneers as steeped in history, set amidst superb countryside, was withdrawn from auction after bids failed to reach the disclosed reserve price of £100,000. Bidding started at £80,000 but auctioneer Robin Cripp of Andrews and Robertson stopped after seven bids, which failed to reach higher than £93,000.
Asked if it was always going to be a challenge selling a dilapidated castle in Tipperary with no planning permission in the middle of a recession, a spokesman for the auctioneers, Jeremy Lamb said that it was for sale at a difficult time but it's a question of reaching the right person. No one was quite bullish enough to take it on today.
He added that 14 people had downloaded the legal documents relating to the sale online, so there had been a certain amount of speculative interest? in advance.
The owner of the castle, described as an Irish property investor, did not attend the auction, but would have been able to follow proceedings live on the internet. The auction house is awaiting instructions from the vendor on whether to try again in their next sale in June. The property, which has been on the market for a number of years has seen its asking price more than halved, from ?250,000 in 2006.

Brad and Angelina are
planning to move to their new house with their children just
before Angelina's delivery, sometime near the beginning of
August. The reason of their moving to France seems to be the
country's strict law on privacy. The castle is on a $60
million 1,000-acre estate in the south of France. The joint
is apparently called Chateau Miraval, located in a tiny
village called Brignol in the Var.
The property allegedly has
35 bedrooms, swimming pool, billiards room, indoor pool,
gyms, sauna and jacuzzi and a huge banquet hall, E! reports.
The castle is very intimate, with a driveway three miles
long. The place is surrounded by forest on all sides and is
close to Aix en Provence.
Other celebrities such as
Bono, Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis also live in the
French Riviera area.
