17-acre Kildare farm in the heart of 'horse country' comes with large home
'This is a magnificent detached five-bedroom family home,' says selling agent Liam Hargaden.
New to the market with Newbridge-based Jordan Town & Country Estate Agents, is a 16.7-acre holding with a large quality residence.
The property is known as Cannonstown House and is located 5km northwest of Milltown village, 8.5km from Rathdangan and equidistant (10km) from Kildare and Newbridge.
“This is a magnificent detached five-bedroom family home,” says selling agent Liam Hargaden. “It has manicured gardens and is set on an elevated site with wonderful views eastward towards the Wicklow Mountains.
“It’s situated at the end of a cul-de-sac in a private secluded setting, approached by a tarmacadam drive, leading to a forecourt at the front of the house. The house has lovely mature gardens, with lawns, beech hedging, a sandstone paved patio area and an orchard with apple and pear trees.”
With almost 3,700ft of living space, the property offers very generous dimensions. Accommodation includes an entrance hall, drawing room, kitchen/living room, breakfast room, gym/den, shower room, utility room, toilet, cloakroom, study and five bedrooms (three with en-suite facilities).
The lands are all of good quality and laid out in three divisions, all in grass and with hedges and trees providing good shelter.
“There’s also a stone stable block,” says Liam, “which contains a feed house and seven stables.”
This area is in the heart of Ireland’s prime equestrian area. The Curragh Plains, with its 4,500 acres of open parkland, are just over six kilometres from the property. As such, there should be keen demand for it at a price guide of €950,000.
