For movers and sheikhers

CONCEIVED and delivered by a low-key Irish developer with sites scattered around Ireland, Rosegreen Studfarm is a bit away from his usual pattern of mixed-use commercial developments.

The Co Tipperary property is adjacent to the renowned Coolmore stud, and also within a trot of the famed Ballydoyle stud, linked worldwide with the name of legendary Vincent O’Brien, the Master of Ballydoyle. John Magnier’s Coolmore dynsasty has some 2,000 acres in and around Fethard, and its Irish horse stud operations bring in income of around €150 million a year. Some estimates of Coolmore’s value put it in the multi-billion euro category.

Sharing soil characteristics with Coolmore, this Rosegreen offering is good limestone land, ideal for tillage, but now, given what’s been built on it, it is most likely to be used for grazing top horses, and perhaps by someone looking to get some of Coolmore’s luck and lucre rubbing off on them.
