Pat Quirke of PF Quirke & Co Ltd, Clonmel is bringing two holdings to the market in the southeast that may be of interest to equine buyers.

The larger of the two properties is situated at Railstown, Cashel and consists of 32 acres.

The land is of the highest quality and has been developed to stud farm standard with roadways, stud railing, limestone walls and hedging. Located in the heart of Tipperary horse country close to Ballydoyle Racing Stables.

Ready to roll

The property had planning for a large, detached house (now expired) and much of the infrastructure is already in place for this. Auctioneer Pat Quirke said: “All anyone has to do is build the house. It’s ready to roll. With extensive road frontage, electric gates and a glorious setting, this property would be ideal for use as a small stud or for the development of a prestigious residential holding.”

There is a guide price on this property of €900,000.

Smaller holding

The second offering from Pat Quirke consists of a well-restored stone cottage that is set on five acres of grassland. Situated on a quiet country lane in Tooracurragh, Ballymacarbry, Co Waterford it enjoys extensive views over the valley between Ballymacarbry and Newcastle.

This traditional farmhouse has four bedrooms and two spacious living rooms. It has been restored to highlight the original features of the building. Downstairs is the kitchen, sitting room and bathroom.

A variety of outbuildings, including a workshop with commercial planning status, surrounding a spacious concrete yard which opens onto the lawn and the fields.

Within this garden there is a 12ft x 18ft fully insulated wooden cabin. A bohereen leads off the lawn to what is effectively a new stable block consisting of six large stables, hay barn and fenced yard.

The land, all in pasture, is laid out in three fields, all of which are walled with mature hedges and interconnected in a block around the house. This ready-to-go small holding also has an established vegetable garden, fruit trees and a polytunnel. The area offers plenty opportunities for pony trekking through forestry and on quiet local roads.

The guide price here is €155,000.
