House name	Description
Caherdean House	Charles Daly was leasing Caherdean House from Henry Herbert at the time of Griffith’s Valuation, when it was valued at £11 10s. Bary suggests that the Lawlors may have had connections with Caherdean House around 1800 but later in the 19th century the Herberts were the landlords. The house is still extant and part of a large farm. .
Molahiffe House	Eliza Griffin was the lessor of this property at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at almost £6 and vacant. In 1837 Lewis mentions "Boucheens" as the residence of Montague Griffin. Bary states that this is a very old house and is widely believed to be one of the earliest homes of the Browne family, later Lords Kenmare. It is still extant and occupied.
Cloonlara	Christopher Gallway was leasing this property to William Hickson at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £7 5s. A farm is still extant at the site.
Corbally House (Magunihy)	The Kenmare estate was the lessor of Corbally House at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £11 5s. Bary states that this farm was originally held by the O'Connor, probably of nearby Fieries Castle. Later a Fr. Dunne built Corbally House as a presbytery near the old Catholic Church. The property is still extant and occupied.
Knocknaman	Henry Denny was leasing a property valued at £9 to William Thompson at the time of Griffith’s Valuation. An uunamed house, surrounded by trees, is marked on the 1st edition OS map. There is no house at this site now.
Cloonalassan House	Lord Monteagle was leasing this property to John Giles at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £8 5s, on a demesne of 123 acres, some of which extended into Ballycrispin townland. Lewis mentions, in 1837, that Ballycrispin was formerly the residence of the Spring-Rice ancestors. It is not shown on the later 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s.
Rockfield	In 1837 Lewis noted that "Rockville" was the property of the representatives of the late John Drew. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, William Whorland was leasing a property valued at £5 10s from the Drew estate. The property was offered for sale by Alicia Wherland in the Landed Estates Court in July 1862 and again in July 1872. In 1906 Rockfield was owned by Bertram Morrogh Bernard and was valued at £11. Bary mentions it as a house associated with the Sealy family. Buildings are still extant at the site.
Fahagh Court	In 1786 Wilson mentions Fagha as the seat of Mr. Falvey. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Daniel Buckley was leasing this property from John Morrogh Bernard, when it was valued at £3 10s. In 1906 Bertram Morrogh Bernard owned this property, then valued at £25. A house built n the later nineteenth century, it is labelled Fahagh Court on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s. In 1943 the Irish Tourist Association survey noted that it had been extensively reconstructed and modernised and "bears little resemblance to the historic residence of the Morrogh-Bernards and before them the O'Flavey clan". It was then occupied by the Reynolds family. Bary states that the property became a hotel in the twentieth century before being damaged by fire. The extensive yard complex has now become the Killarney Country Club and holiday accommodation.
Roxborough (Molahiffe)	Wilson, writing in 1786, refers to Roxborough as the seat of Francis Chute. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, the townland was part of the estate of Reverend George Chute and Roxborough House was occupied by a Mrs Kenny and valued at almost £7. It is still extant and used as a farmhouse.
Molahiffe Castle	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, Maurice de Coursey was leasing a property in the townland of Castlefarm from the Kenmare estate which had a valuation of almost £6. It is likely to have been the house labelled on both the 1st and later 25-inch edition Ordnance Survey Maps as Molahiffe Castle. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage states that this house was built in the mid-eighteenth century. In 1943 the Irish Tourist Association Survey highlights the close links between Molahiffe and the Browne family, who, it says, resided in the area until the building of the first Killarney House. The remains of the original Molahiffe castle are located a short distance from the present house, now known as Castlefarm House.
