This estate was comprised of fee farm rents and lands held in fee simple in the baronies of East Muskerry, Kinalea, Kinsale and Cork, amounting to 6,624 acres. Many of the original leases under which these lands were held were from Edward Riggs. In the 1870s, when his address is given as Sligo, he owned over 2000 acres in county Cork. Over 2000 acres of the Wheatley estate in the barony of Kinalea, as well as property in Cork city, were offered for sale in November 1865 with a further 200 acres in Kinalea offered in 1870. This latter property was sold to a Mr. Walsh, in trust, for over £5000.
