The purchase of €11 million comes after a full Value for Money assessment and an independent commercial valuation, and has received formal approval from the Department of Public Expenditure.
The State has purchased key lands at Castletown House in Celbridge - a move that could end years of access problems at the historic estate.
Kfm understands the lands have been purchased at a price of €11 million.
The Castletown lands were sold for €5 million in 2023.
The move is expected to secure long-term public access and stability for one of the county's most important heritage sites.
The purchase comes after a full Value for Money assessment and an independent commercial valuation, and has received formal approval from the Department of Public Expenditure.
In 2023, after adjoining lands changed hands privately, the entrance and car park beside the M4 were shut off.
In July, Castletown House Parklands reopened after a meeting involving the OPW, Minister Kevin “Boxer” Moran, Gardaí, local representatives and community groups.
