For more than four decades, Coolcullen has been the nucleus of the Bolger dynasty, producing multiple Classic and Group 1 winners.

Now, marketed by Jordan Auctioneers and for sale by private treaty, Glebe House, Coolcullen, Co Kilkenny, offers the rare opportunity to own a place of equestrian lore.

Dating back to 1760, the six-bedroom 694sq m house has retained all fine period features, including high ceilings, decorative cornices, and original marble fireplaces.

Adjacent to the house is a 305sq m recreational building. Currently serving as staff accommodation, the ground floor houses a dining area, canteen, a fully-functional kitchen, and bathroom facilities. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, a living area, and kitchen.

Set across four active yards, the 158 stables are equipped for elite training, with exercising facilities and various therapeutic and veterinary areas. Also in this space are several staff accommodation units.

Additionally, a fifth yard serves as an isolation area with nine stables and associated stores.

One of the main attributes that originally drew Bolger to Glebe House was the incline of the land, and it is this feature that allowed him to build the property’s most unique feature. Set into the hills are a grass gallop, an all-weather sand gallop, and an all-weather woodchip gallop, providing the ideal setting for training across all conditions and terrain.

Guided at €4m, Glebe House promises the beginning of a new chapter for those aspiring to continue the legacy of the place that helped shape modern Irish horseracing.
