Horses for courses: Your own 20 acre stud farm for €1.5 million in Co Carlow
Check out this opportunity to expand a business while creating a new home.
ANYONE LOOKING FOR a change of pace or a challenge, take note. This 20 acre farm in the Carlow countryside may be the beginnings of a new venture.
Even if you already work in the equine industry, perhaps this stud farm would be a great opportunity to expand a business while creating a new home.
Approached by electric gates, the main house has been extended over the years and now spans 320 m². Lawns surround the period building which is in need of renovating and a complete redesign.
Spread over two floors, the ground level of this main house is made up of a hall that leads to a sitting room and a study along with two bedrooms – one of which has an en suite bathroom. To the back, there’s a kitchen and dining space, a utility room and a guest toilet.
There are two more bedrooms on the first floor, one with an en suite bathroom.
Close to the main house is a studio living quarter that has its own kitchen and lounge with a bedroom and bathroom. The building is heated and has double glazed windows. There’s also a 50 m² log cabin with another kitchen and dining area.
The truly outstanding parts of this sale are the amenities on site. The stables include 40 boxes, and a number of large barns and a washroom ensure there’s no shortage of space.
There’s even a six bay horse walker and an indoor arena, along with an all-weather arena, that are both in great nick. An all weather lunging ring and a stock proof paddocks with water to all divisions, as well as a feed room with secure tack room and kitchen facilities ensure every aspect needed for a thriving business is covered.
The site sits about 2 km from the M9 off the Carlow to Rosslare road, so it’s a short drive to Carlow town which has plenty of schools, transport links and activities to enjoy.
While the main house needs an overhaul, the bonus is that any new owner could live on site and work while the refurbishing takes place.
Kellistown Stud, Kellistown, Co Carlow is on the market for €1.5 million through Donohoe Town and Country.
