House name	Description
Elmhall	Built by Gerald Cuff early in the 18th century, it was let to the Jordans of Murrisk in the 1770s and to a branch of the Browne family of Westport from the 1780s until the early 19th century. In 1786 Wilson refers to it as a seat of the Rt.Hon. James Cuffe. In 1837 the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map notes that it was 'in ruins'. The Irish Tourist Association File states that Elmhall is said to have been burnt in 1798. Only some fragments of walls remain at the site.
Breaghwy Lodge	A house known as Breaghwy Lodge was the estate home of the family in the early 19th century. In 1786 Wilson refers to Breafy as the seat of Mr. Browne. This building was later replaced by a large Victorian house which was the residence of D.A Browne in 1894. It now functions as Breaffy House Hotel,
Errew	An unoccupied house and offices valued at £11 were held by James Hardiman at the time of Griffith's Valuation. A school and monastery are shown on the 25-inch Ordnance Survey map of this area in the 1890s. These buildings are still extant.
Fisherhill	Occupied by Major Blake in the early 19th century. Fisherhill and the lands of Carheens, were leased by Richard D'Arcy of New Forest, county Galway to Edward Cheevers of Killyan, county Galway on 23 Mar 1858. In 1879 Robert Ireland advertised for sale his interest in Cheevers lease. A. C. Larminie lived here in the late 19th century. Now the home of the McGreal family.
Hawthorn Lodge	Mulloy writes that in 1789 this house was leased by George O'Malley from the Ellison family and that the O'Malleys lived there until the late 19th century. It was generally known as 'Lodge'. The house was sold to the Carson family in 1905. Charles O'Malley and his son, St Clair O'Malley, were agents to the Earls of Lucan. This house appears to be named Tallyhoe, the residence of Cuffe esquire, on the Taylor and Skinner map. Hawthorn Lodge is still extant and has been occupied by descendants of George O'Malley since the 1990s.
Kinturk	A residence of the Bourke family in the early 19th century, situated beside Kinturk Castle. In 1786 Wilson refers to it as the seat of Mr. Burke. The townland was in the possession of Rev. H.N. Ormsby at the time of Griffith's Valuation.
The Lawn	Castlebar House was burnt in 1798. When resident in Castlebar in the 19th century the Earls of Lucan lived in the lodge known as 'The Lawn', described in the Ordnance Survey Name Books as the residence of St Clair O'Malley, who was agent to the Earls of Lucan in the 1830s. Castlebar House is referred to as the seat of the Earls of Lucan in 1894. This building is now part of a school complex.
Pheasant Hill	A Sheridan home from the late 18th century to the late 19th century. Wilson, writing in 1786, refers to "Dan" as the seat of Mr. Sheridan. By the time of Griffith's Valuation it was held by John Sheridan from the Earl of Lucan's estate with a valuation of £3. It is not shown on the 25-inch map of the 1890s and modern buildings exist in the area now.
Rocklands	A house occupied by various agents to the Earls of Lucan, including Ellison, Davis and Larminie. In 1786 Wilson refers to it as the seat of Mr. Ellison. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was occupied by Neal Davis, holding from the Earl of Lucan, and valued at £15. The site appears to be occupied by a larger modern building.
St Audries	An 18th century house on the shore of Saleens Lake on the outskirts of Castlebar, named after the home of the 1st Countess in Somerset, England. St Audries was leased to Owen Lindsey in 1769 and his family maintained an interest in the property and the farm at Drumsheen until the early 19th century. The Reverend Archdeacon Warburton was living in the house in 1814. By the time of the first Ordnance Survey the house was in ruins.
Spencer Park	A house occupied by a junior branch of the Burrishoole family descended from Patrick O'Malley. They held the house during the second half of the 18th century and much of the 19th century from the Earls of Lucan. By the time of Griffith's Valuation it was occupied by John C. Larminie. In 1858 Larminie sold his interest in the O'Malley's lease of Spencer Park, which had been renewed on 7 Oct 1842 for three lives or 31 years. The Freeman's Journal reported that it was purchased in trust by Mr. Jordan. The site is now occupied by modern housing.

In the 1870s it was the residence of Bernard Peyton. It was destroyed by fire in 1996 and subsequently demolished to make way for the Lough Lannagh holiday complex which includes a building similar to the design of the original house.
