Standish lived at Aghamarta Castle in county Cork. On the property is the ruin of the original Aghamarta Castle, built in the twelvth century. Carew Smith O'Grady bought the 869 acre property in 1824 for £1,200. The castle was in great disrepair, and the O'Grady's used stone from the castle in the construction of the present mansion. The O'Grady's sold the property in 1916, and it is now run as Thompson Farm Shop.
