The Luggala Estate was a 5,000 acre property once owned by the Guinness family. The last member of the family to own the complete estate being arts patron Garech Browne, until his death in 2018. Browne had been gifted the property in 1970 by his mother, the former Oonagh Guinness, who had received the estate in 1937 as a wedding gift from her father, Arthur Ernest Guinness.

The Luggala Estate included the mountains of Luggala and Knocknacloghoge, the entire lake of Lough Tay, and part of the lake of Lough Dan. Garech Browne sold 1,600 acres of the estate in 2006 to the Irish state for 1.6 million euros, and it is now part of the Wicklow Mountains National Park. The Irish Times reported on August 27, 2019 that the estate had been sold to an overseas buyer at a "substantial discount" to the asking price. The entire contents of the estate, as owned by Browne, were auctioned at Sotheby's in London in January 2020.
