New self storage facility at Larchfield Estate 'is a forward-thinking project that blends innovation with conservation'
Think Storage is the latest diversification effort by estate owners Gavin and Sarah Mackie, who have spent nearly two decades restoring and maintaining the 18th-century estate
A new carbon-neutral, purpose-built self storage facility has officially opened at the historic Larchfield Estate, with the Mayor of Lisburn praising the project as “innovative, sustainable, and vital for preserving our heritage.”
Think Storage is the latest diversification effort by estate owners Gavin and Sarah Mackie, who have spent nearly two decades restoring and maintaining the 18th-century estate. Larchfield is already well known for its wedding venue, events, and luxury accommodation.
Think Storage offers secure, flexible storage units with 24-hour CCTV monitoring, phone-operated entry, and seamless online booking. It aims to serve both local residents and small businesses seeking accessible and sustainable storage solutions.
Crucially, profits from the facility will go directly toward the upkeep of Larchfield’s historic buildings and farmland, ensuring the estate continues to thrive for future generations.
“This is a forward-thinking project that blends innovation with conservation,” said the Mayor during the opening ceremony. “It sets a strong example of how heritage sites can evolve while staying true to their roots.”
Think Storage is now open to the public and is positioned to become a key part of the estate’s ongoing contribution to the local community.
