House name	Description
Seapark House	This property is described as a caretaker's house on Christopher St. George's estate at the time of Griffith's Valuation when it was valued at £8. O'Connell states that it was locally known as "Foy's House" and was used as a fever hospital during the famine. It is now in ruins.
Tyrone	Tyrone was built in the early 19th century. It is described in the OS Name Books as "a beautiful residence" in the 1830s. At the time of Griffith's Valuation, it was in the possession of Christopher St.George and was valued at £50. In 1894 Slater notes it as the seat of Robert J.K. St.George. The family ceased to live there in the early twentieth century. Its ruins can be seen overlooking the estuary of the Clarin river.
Kilcolgan Castle	Christopher St. George, residing at Kilcolgan Castle, is described as a resident proprietor in county Galway in 1824. In the 1830s Kilcolgan Castle is described as the property of A.F. St. George. This house, part of the St.George estate, was leased by Matthew St.George from Christopher St.George, 1855. At that time Matthew St. George was acting as agent for the Rathbourne estate. Earlier, the Ordnance Survey Field Name books record that he was acting as agent for the estate of Patrick French in the nearby parish of Ballynacourty. In 1894 Slater refers to "Kilcolgan House" as the residence of James St. George.
Newtown Kilcolgan	Arthur St.George was leasing a house, valued at £8, at Newtown Kilcolgan, from Christopher St.George in 1855. Evidence of estate buildings still survive in this area though the house appears to be gone.
Ballyclery	The house at Ballyclery is described as a caretaker's house for the St.George estate. It was valued at £8 in 1855. An occupied house still exists at this site but may have been modernised.
Stradbally	Griffith's Valuation shows that Christopher St.George had what are described as "offices" valued at £16 in the townland of Stradbally West, parish of Stradbally, barony of Dunkellin. This was the stable complex for Tyrone House and adjacent to the walled garden which was part of the estate.
Seamount	Seamount House was built by the Butlers of Cregg in the 18th century. O'Connell notes that Seamount was the residence of Maj. Theobald Butler, who had fought at the Battle of Waterloo, during the 1820s. At the time of Griffith's Valuation Denis Hynes was leasing from Edmund Donnellan, when it was valued at £16. Dr. Hynes had purchased the house from the Butler estate. In the early 20th century it was given to the Sisters of Mercy and is now a school.
Thornville Lodge	O'Connell states that this house was built by the Bricknell or Bucknell family in the later 18th century. It was later occupied by the Bishop of Kilmacduagh, Dr. Ffrench. Kinvara parish records also indicate that Arthur and Clare Ireland lived here in the 1830s. This may be the same Arthur Ireland who held the post of Burser at Queen's College, Galway in the 1850s. The house is still extant.
Delamaine Lodge	According to O'Connell, Delamaine Lodge was occupied by a Huguenot merchant, Captain William de la Maine, in the late eighteenth century. It was later owned by the de Basterort family and afterwards by the Gregory estate. It is still extant.
