Draped in a pastoral setting of mature gardens with lakes, woods, and trails in Piltown, Kilkenny, Ireland, this richly historic Georgian manor overlooks the grand Comeragh Mountains. Belline House was built in 1785 and housed Lord Melbourne and his wife, the notorious Lady Caroline, when they visited Ireland during her infatuous pursuit of Lord Byron. She used the Temple Lodge on the grounds as a hideaway. The residence is well-proportioned with fine architectural detail across three stories above a basement with a three-sided bow entrance. The house is flanked by two circular pavilions, with a conical roof, and an unusual hexagonal gate lodge
