Darien

In the distant past, Tyree men were warriors fighting to protect their families, and building fortresses as places of security. They owned and lived in castles, including Drumkilbo and Dunnideer in the Scottish highlands. These men fought for the freedom of self-government, and to be able to worship as they chose. Their castles were burned and their property seized, as they fled to a new world, bringing with them the hope of and the firm belief in personal freedom.

This is Tyree history. The Darien castle plan is your window into the past.

The Darien is a classic Scottish Highland castle finished in stone, 12:12 slate roofing, wrought iron detailing, heavy plank doors. Entering through the traditional portcullis, visitors are welcomed by a large stone motorcourt, and large reception/stairwell. The stairwell connects to the main house and tower, and features an extensive library. The tower houses a billiard room, office, irish pub, and rooftop observation deck. The first floor of the main house has a large foyer, dining, living, and chef's kitchen. The second floor is divided into 4 large bedroom suites. The interior of the house is finished with stone floors, dark wood paneled walls, and boxed beam ceilings.
