Mark Zuckerberg and Wife Buy Historic Castle in Ireland
The off-market deal was estimated at €20 million to €30 million, and the couple plan to use the 440-acre estate for visits to Ireland.
- Meta chief executive Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, are the new owners of Strancally Castle in Co Waterford, completing the purchase of the 440-acre Gothic-revival style estate several weeks ago.
- Owners Michael and Giancarla Alen Buckley sold the estate after maintaining the property for 25 years, having undertaken a full restoration of the residence over the past 20 years.
- While the transaction price remains undisclosed, the estate could have achieved between £20 million and £30 million; Zuckerberg previously attempted to acquire Castlemartin House and Estate in Co Kildare from billionaire John Malone last year.
- The Zuckerbergs will continue to reside in the United States and plan to use the Waterford property during visits, while Meta has maintained its European headquarters in Ireland since 2009, employing about 1,500 people.
- Strancally Castle, built around 1830 by the Pain brothers, sits in the Blackwater Valley near Ballynatray House, which billionaire inventor James Dyson acquired in 2024.
