New to the market is Hallowberry Lodge, an equestrian smallholding in Ballingate, Carnew, Co Wicklow.

Set against the backdrop of the south Wicklow landscape, the 12ac holding combines luxury living, extensive equine facilities, and three houses.

Dating back to the early 1900s, the main residence is a 332sq m stone-built farmhouse. Having been sympathetically restored, it retains elements of period charm while also offering modern living comforts, furnished under the guidance of interior designer Collette Ward.

Fully restored, the main residence includes four bedrooms.

Two further residences – a two-bedroom guest house and a one-bedroom cottage – provide accommodation for staff or guests, with rental potential.

Outside, the yard, which benefits from its own service avenue, is set up for serious equestrian enthusiasts. A 10-stall stable block features cobble-locked paving, along with a tack room, solarium, feed room, wash bay and storage area. Two full-size sand arenas, including one covered for year-round use, are complemented by a six-horse walker. On the opposite side of the yard, two large sheds add further storage and operational space.

Extending to 12ac, the land is free-draining and of good quality. Laid out in several divisions, the paddocks are enclosed by mature hedgerow boundaries and serviced by piped water troughs.

Located 4km from the Co Wicklow villages of Carnew and Shillelagh, Hallowberry Lodge is close to everyday retail and leisure amenities, while 20 minutes east, the larger commercial hub of Gorey, Co Wexford has more extensive retail, leisure and transport links.

Guided at €1.595m, the holding is attracting strong interest from equine and lifestyle buyers in Ireland and overseas, many involved in dressage or show jumping.
