House name	Description
Gleneask Lodge & Cottage	At the time of Griffith's Valuation, John Brett was leasing over 500 acres and a herd's house valued at £4, from John Taaffe, at Tullaghaglas, barony of Leyny. Lewis records Glenesk, in Kilmacteige parish, as a seat of the Taaffe family, in 1837. This is Gleneask Cottage, still extant and occupied. McTernan indicates that this property was built by the Irish Waste Lands Improvement Society, when they leased the Taaffe estate in the 1830s. In 1866, when the property was offered for sale, "Gleneask House" was described as being situated in "most romantic scenery". McTernan writes that this latter property was a hunting lodge built by the Taaffes in the 1850s and demolished in the 1930s
Oatlands House	The residence of the O'Dowds of Bunnyconnellan until the sale of their estate in 1854 when it was bought by Charles Downing and leased to Henry McLoghry. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Downing held it in fee when it was valued at £10. It is labelled Bunnyconnellan Cottage on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey Map but as Oatlands House on the 25-inch edition of the 1890s. This is the name by which it is still known. The Irish Tourist Association file refers to Oaklands House owned by Mr McAndrew in which some of the old O'Dowd house was probably incorporated. The house has been restored and in 2015 was offered for sale.
Glencarha	The Ordnance Survey Names Books record that the house was 'a new edifice not yet finished', the intended residence of George Fenton, an attorney of Kilglass, near Ballina, who was leasing the townland. The house was occupied by Isaac McLoghry at the time of Griffith's Valuation. Buildings are still extant at the site.
Knockroe	Knockroe house was part of the Wingfield estate and at the time of Griffith's Valuation was valued at £12. The property is now part of a farm. The remains of the entrance gates are supported by an iron bedpost!
Mullaghawny	Charles 'Sturgeon' (Strogen) was resident at Mullaghawny when Leet's Directory was compiled in 1814 and the Ordnance Survey Name Books refer to the dilapidated state of a mansion house in the townland of Mullaghawny belonging to Charles Strogen. Only a small portion of the buildings are visible on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of the 1890s.
Sallymount	Home of Lewis Atkinson in the early 19th century. At the time of Griffith's Valuation the house was leased by Edward Atkinson from the Wingfield estate when it was valued at £4. The site is now occupied by farm buildings.

Rahans	The home of the Atkinson family, Wilson notes in 1786 that it was the residence of Charles Atkinson and "very pleasantly situated". It was occupied by the rector of Crossmolina, the Reverend Edwin Stock, for a few years prior to 1815. Rahans was described in 1855 as "a comfortable dwelling house, in a fair state of repair" and occupied by Mrs Frances Atkinson. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was the home of George Orme. In 1925 Adelaide R. Orme of New South Wales sold Rahans demesne to Patrick J. Ruttledge of Ballina for £3,000, [see Acc. 1165/8/11 National Archives.] It is no longer extant.

Downhill	The house at Downhill is recorded as being built by Mr. Brennan, Merchant, Ballina. It appears, from the Ordnance Survey Name Books, that the townland of Knockalyre or Downhill was part of the Gore estate in 1836. Dr. McHugh of Ballina also had an interest in the property which he was renting to Rev. Thomas Feeney in 1857. Colonel Knox Gore also had a mill complex in this townland which, at the time of Griffith's Valuation, he was leasing to William Symes. Downhill House became a hotel when it was purchased by the Moylett family in 1936.
Ardnaree Cottage	Ardnaree Cottage dates to at least the early eighteenth century and possibly earlier. It was part of the Gore estate. Wilson, writing in 1786, refers to "Mr. Jones' charming demesne". In 1837 it was the residence of Thomas Jones and in 1857 it was leased by Col Arthur Knox Gore to Anne Hearne when it was valued at £10. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage notes it as an important component of the domestic built heritage of Ballina. It is still extant and well-maintained.
Belleek Castle/Ballina House	Edward J Howley held Belleek Castle and demesne on a lease originally granted by James O'Hara 2nd Lord Tyrawley to Vaughan Jones for 999 years, dated 25 Mar 1739.

Bought by the Aldridges in 1932 the Castle was run as a country guest house in the latter part of the 20th century. Following the death of Mrs Aldridge in 2003 the property was bought by the Maloney brothers and is now run as a luxury hotel. See www.mountfalcon.com
Belleek Manor/Abbey	Built in 1831 in the Gothic style. The seat of Maj.-Gen Saunders Knox-Gire in 1894. It was sold in 1940 to the Beckett family who resold it to Mayo County Council. It became a santorium but now functions as the hotel known as Belleek Castle.
