Bary writes that it was built by Pierce Chute, possibly in 1836, according to O'Donovan. The Chutes continued in residence until the late nineteenth century after which it had a succession of owners. It now forms part of the Ballyroe Heights Hotel complex.
Listrim House	Sir Edward Denny was leasing Listrim House to Robert Fortune at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £12 10s. In the 1830s the Ordnance Survey Name Books record that it was the residence of Henry Oliver by whom it was supposedly erected in 1836. It is now a ruin.
Lisadale Lodge	John Busteed was leasing Lisadale Lodge from William Howard at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £6 10s. The Ordnance Survey Name Books record it as the residence of William Howard, by whom it was supposedly built, in 1836. Bary writes that the house may have been a hunting lodge. It is now ruinous.
Ballygarran House	Sir Edward Denny was the lessor of Ballygarran at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when the property, valued at £9 10s, was vacant. In the 1830s, the Ordnance Survey Field Name Books mention Ballygarran House as the residence of William Hilliard by whose family it had been built in the eighteenth century. It is described as " an oblong low thatched house". Bary notes that it was a house frequently associated with the Hilliard and later the Fitzmaurice families. It was demolished in the mid-twentieth century.
Sackville House	William T. Crosbie was leasing this property to Sarah Heck at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £22 10s. Lewis records it as the property of the Crosbie family but resided in by Rev. R. Maunsell in 1837. Leet, in 1814, noted Sackville as the residence of John Saunders. In 1786, Wilson mentions Sackville " a very neat house, newly erected" as the seat of Rev. Thomas Graves, Dean of Ardfert. In 1906 it was the property of L.T. Crosbie and valued at £25. Bary states that Sackville was built by Thomas Graves, dean of Ardfert, in 1788, as there was no Glebe house there. It was named for Diana Sackville, wife of John Crosbie, second Earl of Glandore. It was leased by the Crosbies or lived in by one of the family for much of the nineteenth century. It was sold in the twentieth century and demolished in the 1950s.
Tubrid House	George Gunn was leasing this property to Henry Hilliard at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £22 10s. Lewis recorded Tubrid as the seat of J. O'Connell.The Ordnance Survey Name Books indicate that this townland was owned by John O'Connell of Grenagh, Killarney and that John Sullivan of Tubrid was his agent in the 1830s. The house was occupied by Capt. Henry Hilliard at that time. In 1814, Leet noted the house as the seat of Townsend Gunn. Bary states that Tubrid House was built by the Crosbie family in the mid-eighteenth century and resided in by several generations of that family. The late eighteenth century owner, John G. Crosbie, was involved in a duel in which Sir Barry Denny was killed. A year later Crosbie himself died in mysterious circumstances. The house afterwards was owned by the Gunn and Hewson families. It is no longer extant.
Banna House	Robert E. Stokes was leasing this property from the Earl of Listowel's estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was valued at £11. Bary writes that it was built by Oliver Stokes in 1815. It was demolished many years ago.
Abbeylands	In 1906 L.T, Crosbie owned a property at Skrillagh, valued at £17. This townland also belonged to the Crosbie estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation, when it was let to the McElligott family. Bary states that the house, Abbeylands, was built in the 1870s as a residence for George Trench, agent to the Crosbie estate. In 1901 it was occupied by Ross Palmer and his family, JP for county Kerry and creamery owner. It was burnt in 1921 but restored later in the twentieth century and is now an ecumenical retreat centre.
