'Top-class' stud farm in Cork guiding at €1.6m for 54 acres
Stud Quality A Farm Facilities Prises And Excellent Homes Superb Is Two That Carrigdownan Stud Lands,
An exceptional property in East Cork is new to the market with Fermoy-based auctioneers Dick Barry and Son.
Carrigdownan Stud is a quality stud farm that comprises superb lands, excellent facilities and two homes.
The holding is 4kms south of Kildorrery, equidistant (13kms) from Mitchelstown and Fermoy, with the M8 motorway lying just 8km to east, allowing simple access to Cork and Dublin.
This is a very sought-after part of Munster, with the equestrian, dairying and tillage sectors all playing an important role in the area’s fertile lands.
“It has frontage onto two roads,” says selling agent Michael Barry, “Onto the main Kildorrery-Glanworth road and onto a secondary road at the back.
"It’s all top-quality land — very well laid out and fenced with post-and-rail fencing and mature hedgerows. It’s a prime piece of property.”
The main residence is known as Carrigdownan Lodge — a superb, well-designed bungalow set on one acre of landscaped gardens, which could be sold separately.
The second house is an attractive, modern, three-bedroom bungalow at the entrance to the farm and yard.
“There are 21 stables, loose boxes in the courtyard,” says Michael. “There’s a canteen, a self-contained apartment, lunging rings and walkers… everything ready to go for a stud farm enterprise.”
The price guide of €1.6m for this rare and exceptional holding is a reasonable one.
