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.
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.
Lough Mask House	This house was constructed in the early 1840s when Ormsby Elwood was agent to the Earl of Erne. Robert Fair was occupying the house, valued at £10, at the time of Griffith's Valuation and would appear to have taken over as agent to Lord Erne. In the autumn of 1880 Lough Mask House was the scene of the first boycotting incident when Charles Boycott was the agent for the estate. By the mid 1880s Bernard Daly had bought Boycott's lease of the house and farm and his descendants continue to live at Lough Mask.
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.
Cranmore	Built in 1838 by Alexander Clendining Lambert on land he held on lease from Colonel Charles Knox. It reverted to the Knoxes after the Famine and was used as a dower house by Colonel Charles Howe Cuff Knox for his mother, a daughter of the 2nd Marquess of Sligo. The house was bought by the Daly family in the 1920s and sold to the McCartans in the late 1940s. They took off the roof in the 1950s and the house is now a ruin.
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.
