I Googled but couldn't find much info on it, or how it has survived the bubble years without being turned into a housing estate!

Anyone got more info or links?

Used to be known as Dr. Eustace's; a private psychiatric hospital.

No, DCU paid through the nose for just 10 acres which they bought from the Eustace family, who are the owners of the larger farm (and also the owners of Highfield Healthcare) linked to above.
