History of New Forest

In 1799, the estate was granted and came into the ownership of the Daniels family. The estate was passed down through the Daniels family for generations until the death of the last heir of the family in 1948. The magnificent estate was then donated to the church who then sold it to Sir Charles Gardner.
Sir Charles Gardner acquired the estate only a few years after serving in World War II. His wife, Lady Gardner, was a cousin of Queen Elizabeth. In 1953, Sir Charles immigrated to Australia taking a number of staff with him.
Whilst in Australia, Sir Charles rented the estate to Senator Crosby for a year and in 1954 he sold the estate to the Hanevig family from Norway.
The estate passed through the hands of a few other owners until 1998 when it was purchased by the current owners, the Jackson family. Initially, it was the family’s intention to renovate the country house and move in as it was close to where the younger children were educated near Mullingar. However, the Jackson family had a vision to develop New Forest into the world class golf resort we know today.
With a lavish history, the future promises to be every bit as exciting with a 100 bedroom luxury hotel including a state of the art health club & spa and a new clubhouse allowing the mansion house to be returned to a stately home for special occasions including weddings. Further developments include residential homes around the course and throughout the resort.
