Clonacody has a covered address

CLONACODY House and its 122 acre estate at Fethard, Co Tipperary has attracted some very heavy hitters in the equestrian world since it went up for sale a few weeks ago.

The address is the hint. The impressive Georgian property is slap bang in the middle of rich race horse country, with the headquarters of Coolmore Stud — the pre-eminent stallion station in the world — only a few miles down the road.

Clonacody can also lay claim to big wins in the sport of kings: winners of the Gold Cup, the Grand National and the Galway Plate have all been through here.
