Maureen O’Hara’s beautiful Irish home (take a look round)

- Movie legend Maureen O’Hara made her name in Hollywood with classic films like the Quiet Man and Miracle on 34th Street.
But for all the showbiz glitz, she felt most at home in her native Ireland.
For many years she had a mansion in Co Cork that she used as a getaway retreat.
The estate is known as Lugdine Park and covers 35 acres of land. It overlooks Glengarriff Bay and has two islands and a private beach. It’s surrounded by woodland and has views of the Cork/Kerry Mountains in the distance, making it one of the most desirable homes in Ireland.
Take a look inside and around the grounds in this video.
O’Hara loved it there and when she had to leave she said: “I have too many wonderful memories of Glengarriff to pick just one. You miss Ireland for all your life when you leave. I miss looking out my bedroom window at the boats coming in and eating at Casey’s.”

Oh my gosh! Maureen O’Hara was an absolute Irish ☘️ Beauty! ❤
A very great lady and actress. Maureen O'Hara will never be forgotten.
"Quiet Man" remains one of my favorite movies.
She is my favorite actress of all time. I fell in love with her as a little kid watching the movies she had starred in. I loved her personality, both on and offscreen. A truly beautiful Irish las !!!
Mine too .
Drop dead gorgeous lady and world class actress. The Irish certainly have their bragging rights with her!
Drop dead gorgeous- absolutely- but a mediocre actress.
Loved her in original The Parent Trap. Irish beauty!
One in a million, a lady in every sense. Love all her movies. ❤️
I went to Ireland back in 2005 Ho I LOVED IT! I miss it still!
A grand lady for all to remember her Irish beauty and talent.
The Quiet Man is my favorite movie with her & John Wayne. Their acting and the scenery in Ireland was so worth watching. So beautiful!
Rosie Walker I love high comedy
So beautiful 💚
Me too.
I have been to the town of Cong Ireland where they filmed it and has changed very little in 68 yrs!
I have the quiet man on DVD I watch it at least once a month
A grand lady on and off screen . So few of them left with her class/elegance .
J B / Yes , I’m well aware of this . Now there are just “ garbage actors “ .
@@zyxw2024 , you don't have to be offered highlighted status...lol. You know that right?
She was great. RIP. Loved her in movies with John Wayne
One of the most beautiful women in the world.
Her home was just beautiful, Like her!!! We miss you ! Maureen O'HARA!!
She was wonderful, glamorous, strong, smart, and warm. I once met a movie cameraman, who had worked with Ms. O'Hara. He said that, unlike many actresses, she was as beautiful coming to work, early in the morning, without makeup, as she was on screen.
The movies she was in were clean, profanity free and uplifting.
Those were the days. Now, most TV and movies are filthy.
@@zyxw2024 You're SAD.
Beautiful part of the world absolutely stunning ❤️🇬🇧
The Quiet Man is one of my old time favorites. She’s incredible! 🌺🌺🌺
She was by far an extremely talented actress. My all time favorite actress.
Oh my goodness, she is just a beautiful person. Wouldn't this world be better if everyone was as nice and sweet as her.
Lovely cottage with stunning views. Maureen O'hara was stunning as well, and any movie with Maureen in, was a pick me up.
I love Maureen O'Hara films. She was so inspiring in her day. Too bad we don't have anyone like her today. Everyone looks the same and acts the same. There's very few actors to look up to. Sad.
She was my favorite female actress, and I admired her as a individual person. classy lady, she brought joy to a world of people. she is missed.
I'm so happy that she was able to have a home such as this in Ireland. She was a lovely Lady.
I will always remember she never allowed Hollywood to steal her beautiful Irish accent. I feel there will never be anyone like Maureen O'Hara again
Beautiful CLASSY Lady. Miss her and will love her always.
What ❗she died ??? U did not hear about that .hope not 🙏
Miss O'hara was one of lifes real ladies, an elegant and beautiful woman, a Hollywood legend and a great actress, nobody can compare to her, and born in Ranelagh in Dublin, makes me proud to be an Irish man
I was named after her, my father was apparently obsessed with her!🥰🤩
I remember her from miracle on 34th St. I still watch that movie every Holiday and I am sure I will continue until my time comes.
These were the best years when actors were respectful and people had morals and respect for each other.
Couldn’t agree with you more , it was a time when film was actually enjoyable, no need for bad language every 30 seconds, no need for stripping of their clothes & practically making porn ! Everyone could watch these movies together without the need to grimace or feel embarrassed or uncomfortable .... That’s why those film & film STARS will last the test of time ... stay safe ☘️
Except a few movies, Quiet Man wasn't a favorite. It was never ok to physically drag a woman in my perspective. I found it abusive. There were movies that support abusing women. Not ok, but women accepted it. Why? I have no idea.
I had the good fortune of standing next to her in the Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin. She was wearing a full length mink coat with a bright green head scarf and her beautiful red hair. What a gorgeous sight she was,
Maureen O'Hara is very beautiful inside and out and one who has her priorities straight! My grandmother was from Cork Cty Ireland. Perhaps I will see it one day - looks georgous and peaceful.....
I’m so pleased to see this lady and home covered in this upload. With a brother of mine we were fortunate enough to have decorated the outside of this home. We were also provided with accommodation in a cottage not a stones throw from the house. Lucky enough to meet and conversation with Charles Blair not long before his passing. I’m going back to the late 70’s Maureen was just sixty the. I’m now in my sixty six year and remember as if it was yesterday. Beautiful people in every way. The colour scheme for the home was exactly the same as cottage in the quiet man. Emerald green windows, soffits and guttering with white walls...
Lucky you Sir 👍❤️
She was a NATURAL beauty..a true lady and a strong woman. 💜🇨🇮🤗
No one had more sass and vinegar as a person and as an actress....ONE OF A KIND!
Ruth Nagarya so true! Well said!
The beautiful women of Ireland are outstanding! My wife and I were there in around 2012. Once we were in a woollen shop and attended to by a young auburn haired beautify with the bluest eyes you every saw. Like Maureen Ohara she was ideal for technorama. What a wonderful accent. Although we only spoke with her for moments I know if I asked my wife about it she would remember her too.
I wouldn't chance it if I were you. 👍😂☘
I love her. She was a beautiful woman. One of my favorite movies w her was McClintock w John Wayne and Miracle on 34th St. also. ❤️❤️
To me, she came off as a beautiful intelligent women. You could tell she was very intelligent by the look in her eyes. The way she carried herself was exceptional.
She was a beautiful lady , she chose a wonderful place for her home .
She was a great actress and very beautiful
Such a wonderful actress and human being. The Quiet Man is my favorite Duke Wayne because of their wonderful chemistry. RIP Maureen.❤️❤️❤️
Wonderful! Love the Quiet Man!
...Greetings from Ireland.

Such a lovely lady inside and out. When she took on U.S. citizenship she was told she had to drop her Irish citizenship. She refused and sued the government and won. She was a winner.
in some matters USA was more democratic than now or maybe she was a star;
@David Erickson Immigration laws change. This was in the 1940s or 50s.
@David Erickson She actually applied and was granted dual citizenship. Rather than 'sue' she appealed to retain her Irish citizenship. It's in her book. She was one of the first entertainers to do so.
@@tarnsand440 000
She was counted as a British citizen in the USA and that’s what she refused to accept. Read her book.
She was my favorite actress of the time.
My uncle used to live across the bay from her. He had wonderful memories of her. She was a wonderful actress.
Maureen epitomises what beauty really is I've always loved her work and she has a beautiful singing voice as well as beauty,it's a pity just when she found real love that her husband was taken from her in an airplane crash he was the pilot as far as I remember and I had always wanted to go down to cork again in the hope of bumping into her but alas she died before I'd the chance, she always said that she would live until she was 103 or thereabouts but she'd a good innings and I only have to think of her beautiful smile and I'm ok with the world again
I was a big fan of Ms O'Hara, I loved her movies, she was so beautiful & a great actress, beautiful estate.💖
God bless Maureen, you gave us all a great laugh and we all loved you dearly.
My ancestors were from Trim, Ireland. Valentine Trim was a Captain of a transport ship but also carried paying passengers. He retired in New England and the family grew and filled up New England and moved further West with each generation or two. WE traced the Trim name, of which there were many, whom my Uncle Ernest found and left for the rest of us to find - even more.
With the Irish and French mixed into our line, the talents of each could be identified at each level of descendants It can be a colorful and fabulous journey fit for all ages.
She was gorgeous.
I loved her. She seemed to be a casual fun person. I think I read somewhere that she had a good mind for business.
Very pretty.
I still watch her movies any chance I get. I enjoy them.
I'm so glad I purchased many movie tv series dvd's vhs in mid 1990's-mid 2000's as several are no longer available.

ONE of the best actresses
william valliere Goodness. Goodness. Bye.
The best
Such a gorgeous lady and a fine actress. Her mansion is lovely too, what a beautiful place.
Just loved Maureen O’Hara , Great Actress, beautiful lady ❤️😘
I have holidayed in this little village. It was a wonderful experience.
The best part is her relationship with the local people. I"m sure being around "real" folks must have been a blessing for her.
I loved her singing and her acting I loved her in spencers mountain and playing with John Wayne. She was wonderful.
Since seeing The Quiet Man years ago, I have always wanted to visit Ireland. It must be a beautiful country.
It is when it stops raining 😁
@@bren70ssss94 actually ireland has FABOULOS weather it dosent rain all the time just when ws need some for the farmers and the shamrock ☘☘☘then its sunshine ☀️☀️☀️ in the emerald isle where its people make everyone welcome with a smile 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
@@lizdoyle7158 Indeed. And, ironically, the place where this house is situated has a microclimate in the region thanks to the Gulf Stream which hits Ireland just at that spot, Glengarriff. This is why you will see so many tropical trees in gardens and of course the famous Garnish Island is in the harbour, as seen in these video shots - a beautiful sub-tropical island with Italianate gardens and tropical plants.
God what a beautiful place! Looks like pure heaven...
Beautiful.....down to earth lady. Credit to her heritage. Slainte.
What a lovely video and such a beautiful home ...must have been hard for her to leave it that final time 💝
i am but 73 and Maureen O'Hara was ahead of my time ................ that said when conversations roam around as they do and inexplicably turn to "who was or is the most beautiful woman in the world my personal list always begins with Maureen O'Hara - she was what can only be described as "the woman's woman".... beautiful to look at, beautiful to know, a beautiful friend ( and reports are a fiendish enemy ), beautifully down to earth, and had a beautiful heart and soul. She was Irish through and through - i am not but she made me wish i was. May she rest in peace.
I've always loved her! I visited Ireland about five years ago. Our guide was a lovely woman who had the highest respect for Ms. O'Hara, showing us a park that she had gifted the people of Ireland.
I am 49 years old and 3 of my all time favorite movies starred Ms. OHara. Miracle on 34th street, The Quite Man and McLintock.
Beautiful Mrs O'hara and Beautiful Ireland Awesome Video
I grew up seeing maurine around town. Everyone loved her. She had a beautiful home here in estate questa verde, on st croix us virgin islands. Her husband charlie owned the air boat (sea plane) business here that delivered people and packages to the other islands. He died when his plane went down
yes, blair was 69, quite dashing with a stellar & accomplished career. he had been married to maureen 10 years (his 4th marriage) she was 58 when he died. maureen never remarried. i read he had an engine fail. there were 10 passengers including a 13 yr old boy who sat beside him. they said no one was killed in the crash, but blair & 3 others drowned & the rest were rescued. do you know if the child was a survivor?
So sad.
How times change. During my summer visits to West Cork in the 1950's from the big city to stay with relatives. We as children were transported into another world of slow paced, slow talking friendly locals who were quite unaware that they were living in a hidden paradise. It was a time when there were few overseas visitors so the culture remained undiluted. In the 1960's it was "discovered" and as they say, the rest is history. I have happy memories of a time gone by.
sklenars 9! Pp
I'm half Irish so can really appreciate this channel.
I saw Maureen O'Hara at the Turner Classic Film Festival in Hollywood. In fact I am in the audience in many pics of her in front of us that were taken before her interview started. She was very pleased that we gave her several standing ovations. She was adamant that every hair be in place clothes straightened et al pre-cameras rolling.....which shows she was a master of her craft. I loved her in Disney's The Parent Trap and get so annoyed when tv movie channels only show the very weak remake. Also Spencer's Mountain with Henry Fonda Mr Hobb's Takes a Vacation with James Stewart on top of her many masterpieces with the Duke.
I love her simplicity. Thank you for sharing.
Wow never knew that. My grandmother was from there my father from Galway. A beautiful countr
I have visited Ireland. I loved it.
...Greetings from Ireland, do come back
@@johnlavery6116 Hello John. I would love to return to Ireland however I have end stage heart failure. It isn't advisable to travel so far. I had originally come to Ireland to visit my medical oncologist. I met him at Johns Hopkins where I was an oncology patient years ago. A friend and myself were able to have dinner with him when visiting. I have always been so thankful to God for meeting him. A lovely person.
@@kathylingen1667 Hello Kathy. It's nice to hear from you,and thank you for taking the time to write,I am sorry to hear about your ongoing health issues, it must be a heavy burden on you,and I can see that travel would be quite a problem, I am glad you enjoyed your visit to Ireland,we are well known for our hospitality to visitors, especially Americans, as we have a bond with your country going back over many centuries. which part of Ireland did you visit.?and what state are you from.? ..Take care Kathy.
@@johnlavery6116 Helli John
I am from Maryland ..... I was thinking Johns Hopkins Hospital was a nudge in that direction. I visited Dublin and surrounding area. I could definately have seen myself living there ... lol.
One of my favorite actresses of all time! She just seemed to have a natural clean fresh Irish air about her!
Always loved her.. I always got a gut feeling that she had a beautiful heart and truly cared about humanity. Watching this short video has confirmed that in my heart.. One lovely lady in all aspects.
What a delightful story.
I love every one of her movies such beauty and talent. Rip miss O'Hara your beauty and talent is missed so much
I was to the Village of Cong where the Quiet Man was filmed.
Fabulous movie ! Watch it every time it comes on !
Arleen Rooney I’m jealous!!
I stayed in Ashford Castle in Cong in 1990 and meet some of the actors from the movie.
With THAT view out of the bedroom window I never would have left the bed again!!
My grandmother came here from County Cork and she said the same thing that you miss it all your life when you leave.
They do not have women today that can compare to Maureen. The movies either.
Glad that comment came from a woman and not a man!!!!😁
@B Brunson there once was a time Hollywood was pure glitz and oh so much glamour... but that era is long gone sadly...
The movies are garbage! Ask me what was the last time I watched a decent movie released recently. I couldn’t even tell you!
Maureen O'Hara is one classy lady.
I'd rather watch an old movie like the Quite Man, for the 10th or 15th time, before watching most of the new stuff.
@B Brunson I only saw mannix on utube yesterday
A beautiful home and a beautiful woman. I wonder what it would be like to live in Ireland, in that house.
I just plan love her in all of her john wayne movies,like big Jake,the quite man and so on RIP ma'am you will be strongly missed!!!!!
She's a gorgeous woman and Iove her movies. I can see how it would be easy to love her beautiful home in Ireland. Thank you so much for sharing.
I love ❤️ Ireland 🇮🇪 and I can’t wait to return one day !

Hi, My wife Olha and I had the pleasure of meeting Maureen in Casey's Hotel Glengariff before she left Ireland for Idaho.
She was very friendly and we have a lovely photo taken with her.

I miss that place so much...
I met her brother once. Charming. VERY tall.
He was not very tall.

This is a picture of Maureen and her brothers. Charles is on the right. She is most assuredly in heels. She's 5'8" flat-footed. He towers over her.
@@TimothyOBrien1958 She was 1.73m. And 6'2" ain't very tall. It's tall.
@@zyxw2024 You sound like a person with way too much free time on their hands. Find a hobby.
So true,I I was lucky enough to visit Ireland in 1978 and been longing to return ever since
Where you were born, and grew-up is always home, especially when you leave it and move to another country.
May God have Mercy on your soul Maureen O'Hara.
Why does she need mercy?
@Marylynn Blalock Passed where to?
What a lovely lady and a lovely house.
She was from a period when "MANNERS MATTER" My regret is see my grandchildren expose to today's toxic environment of behavior.
s g you’re the kind of rude Jim was describing. Thanks for leaving an example.
Jim Talor I agree , you’re very correct.
I loved her Beauty & personality. A great actress & her beautuful hair like her.
The most Beautiful Irish movie star ever.!!!!
Seemed like a down to Earth Woman; who didn't have an over inflated opinion of herself.
Yes ...she certainly had eyes of an actress 💚
A beautiful woman. Truly. Absolutely 1 of my favorite actresses!!
In the old days ..... Actresses of this caliber ..... were considered royalty! Money helps?? It's not everything!
I can understand why she loved it there, quit lovely. Thank you for sharing her home. Looks like something I would live in as well.
I loved her and John Wayne's work together. McClintock! and the wonderful.. The Quiet Man☘️🇮🇪
What a very classy and a beautiful all-time classic Hollywood actress and Legend...some fans and followers mistake her with Maureen O'Sullivan specially when actress Mia Farrow is brought out in the topic as the daughter...!!!
Well, I thought we were going to get a tour of the house. Beautiful scenery all around it. I swear the green in Ireland is the greenest green in all rhe world ! Thanks for the vid.
Always loved her movies. I don't think I could have sold such a beautiful home. I've been to Ireland and stayed in Limerick for 10 days. We got to see alot of the countryside, country Cork. And we did see the Quietman Museum. The cliffs of Moher. We went to three or two places a day. We stayed for 10 days and had a driver. I think I would love to live there xoxo
McClintock!
What a view
