House name	Description
Creagh	The original house was situated beside the River Robe and was described in September 1836 by Robert Graham as a "nicely laid out cottage residence". Earlier, in 1786, Wilson refers to it as the seat of Mr. Cuff. Mary Louisa Cuffe was leasing the property from Colonel Charles Knox at the time of Griffiths Valuation, when it was valued at £32. A new house was built by Colonel Charles Knox in 1875, which became a tuberculosis sanatorium and a centre for the Agricultural Institute in the 20th century. James Cuff (recorded as Duff), of Creagh, near Ballinrobe, is mentioned as the proprietor of townlands in the parish of Ballynacourty, barony of Dunkellin, county Galway, at the time of the first Ordnance Survey in the 1830s.
Levally	Home of the Fair family for a time in the 19th century. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was leased by James Simpson from the Earl of Lucan's estate and valued at £5. It is described as a "Herd's House". It was unoccupied in the early years of this century and for sale in 2007. Demolished in September 2007.
Robe Villa	A town house on the River Robe, home of the Kenny family for 200 years, sold by them in the early 1980s to the Ballinrobe Rugby Club.
Ballinrobe Castle	A Bourke castle, restored by James Cuffe in 1752 and sold to the War Office in 1821 for use as a military barracks though a barracks existed there in the 18th century as Wilson refers to the town having a barracks with two companies of foot in 1786. The barracks were valued at £75 at the time of Griffith's Valuation. It ceased to be a barracks in the 1920s but substantial ruins of the buildings remain.
Partry House	Bence-Jones describes the house, situated on the shore of Lough Carra, as Georgian with a Wyatt window above the porch. It is likely that it incorporates an earlier house built in the latter part of the 17th century. In 1786 Wilson mentions "Cloonlagheen" as the seat of Mr. Lynch. It was the seat of the Lynch/Blosse Lynch family for three centuries. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was held in fee by Henry Lynch Blosse and valued at £14. Owned briefly by David Shaw Smith in the 1990s, now the home of Lorraine O'Donoghue.
Springvale	Springvale was noted by Lewis as the home of Henry Joseph Blake in 1837. At the time of Griffith's Valuation the house was leased by Henry Blake from Joseph H. Bath and was valued at £8. A substantial corn mill in the townland, valued at £25, was leased by Henry Blake to Patrick Tierney at the same time. The house was later the residence of the Mayne family. It is still extant and occupied. The mill building is also still visible.
Cuslough	Lewis describes this house as formerly a 'seat of Lord Tyrawley and now of R.Livesay'. At the time of Griffith's Valuation it was occupied by Richard Livesay, leasing from Colonel Charles Knox, when the house was valued at £12. It stood close to the ruins of Cuslough Castle.
Liskilleen	Built by Courtney Kenny in 1862. He was also the owner of the townland at the time of Griffith's Valuation when a herd's house existed there. It is still extant and occupied.
Brownstown	In 1786 Wilson refers to Brownstown as the seat of Mr. Browne. This house is shown on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map but marked 'in ruins' on the later 25-inch edition. The townland was in the possession of George Browne at the time of Griffith's Valuation. The Irish Tourist Association file describes the house as a 3-storey T shaped plain residence, uninhabited for about 60 years.
Cornfield	Cornfield was the original Ruttledge home in the Hollymount area and continued to be lived in by family members until the 20th century, although it was replaced as the family's principal residence by Bloomfield. In 1786 Wilson refers to it as the seat of Mr. Ruttledge. In the mid 19th century it was the home of Thomas Ruttledge who married Jane Fair. He was leasing from Robert Ruttledge and the buildings were valued at £20. The existing dwelling is part of the original house, as are the ruins beside it. Local sources suggest that portions of the original house were demolished when the property was acquired by the Land Commission and some of the stone used to build houses in Hollymount village
Garriestown	This was a Walsh family home in the 19th century. At the time of Griffith's Valuation the house was leased by Thomas Walsh from Robert Rutledge when it was valued at £11. Garriestown is now a large farming enterprise and the house is still lived in.
