Co. Kildare

On c. 171 acres

Outstanding stud farm of World renown located in the heart of Co. Kildare on 171 acres of top quality limestone land. The property includes ranch style bungalow and 4 staff residences. 54 boxes and range of outbuildings

Loughtown Stud, at Donadea in Co. Kildare, must rank as one of the most desirable of its kind. Its splendid maturity radiates throughout the 171 acres –from its leafy tree-lined avenues to it stable yards and buildings, to its sheltered paddocks, and to the stonework of its two-storey residence.

When we look at stud farms, we look for a range of different features. The quality of land is paramount; how it is arranged, its location, its condition, its boundaries; the accommodation for owners (and staff), the stabling for horses, and more. Loughtown passes each requirement test with ease. And, for added comfort, has the fall-back assurance of its impressive history as a nursery for thoroughbred development.

From the main entrance and the owner’s ranch-style home, which is reached via a driveway with lawns and shrubs on either side. It’s picturesque, it’s comfortable. It’s highly desirable.

Venture on to the thoroughbred quarters. A main yard that is traditionally designed and is in the heart of the property. The manager’s two-storey residence is located here and the highly attractive exterior is complemented throughout its four-bedroom interior.

The farm offers every facility for normal stud activity; there are 3 foaling boxes; and 3 stallion boxes; a horsewalker, a covering shed, a lunging ring and a silica sand outdoor arena; there are hay sheds, offices and ample covered space for all machinery requirements.
There are nursery paddocks; there are stallion paddocks; there are magnificent fields of open space. And, everywhere, the old pasture, rich in minerals and nutrients, that promotes bone and healthy living.

The two divisions of this 171-acre farm are roughly of equal size, each side of the small road that traverses it. And, while the main yard and houses occupy one half of the property, the other half includes an American-style barn, (in need of refurbishment) which increases the total stabling to 54 boxes.

Everywhere, the farm’s maturity is instantly recognised – the variety of established trees that offer beauty, and magnificent hedgerows that provide valued shelter for livestock.
