The historic Westport House and Estate in Co Mayo has been put on the market for €10m.
Owners the Browne family, who have lived there since the 17th century, said they had been left with no option but to sell the 455-acre site under a High Court administrator's advice.
It had been hoped that Mayo County Council could secure funds to purchase the building and lands through NAMA. However, that has now fallen through.
In a statement the family said the business would be open and operational for this season.
In October last year, Westport House was left out of a sale from Nama's loan portfolio.
According to reports, the Government intervened to ensure the stately home in the Taoiseach's Mayo constituency was not included in a bundle of properties code-named Project Arrow.
At the time, Minister for Tourism Michael Ring said he believed that Mayo County Council would want to buy the debt in order to keep Westport House, a local tourist attraction, in public ownership.
The sale of the property is being conducted by Ganly Walters and can be viewed here on MyHome.ie.
