The History:
Greenhills Farm was owned by the Carter family for almost 100 years and it was sold to the current owners in 1969 for £14,000 – a fortune at the time! The farm always has a fantastic reputation for finishing off cattle and growing great crops. The renowned Ballyfin Boarding School was only 4 miles away and in recent times this historic building has been converted to one of the world’s most luxurious 5 star hotels.
