Next St. Patrick’s Day, you could be pulling yourself the perfect pint of “black gold” at this picturesque Irish estate for sale near Dublin. Dating back to the 18th century, this castle, located in Roundwood, Ireland, was once the home of Oonagh Oranmore, one of the heiresses to the Guinness company’s stout fortune. In her heyday, Oranmore threw magnificent soirées on the property, hosting the likes of Angelica Huston, the Rolling Stones, artist Lucian Freud, and U2 frontman Bono.

Known as Luggala, the castle sits on 5,000 acres, and includes its own lake as well as original, 18th-century gardens. Inside, live like a king in 19,099 square feet of living space with 27 bedrooms and 18 baths.
