Description
A rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey country smallholding that combines elegant residential accommodation with premium equestrian facilities all on about 12 acres.
A truly exceptional country and equestrian property set amidst the beautiful rolling landscape of South County Wicklow, offering a rare combination of luxury living and professional grade facilities. Extending to approximately 12 acres of prime, free draining land, this immaculately presented property is ideally suited to discerning equestrian enthusiasts as well as those seeking a peaceful rural retreat.
At its heart lies a charming stone built residence dating from circa 1900, complemented by elegantly renovated cut stone guest and staff cottages, all thoughtfully designed under the direction of interior designer Collette Ward.
The property is approached via electric security gates and a sweeping tree lined avenue, while a separate service entrance provides discreet and practical access to the yard.
The main house, extending to approximately 337 sq. m / 3,627 sq. ft. has been meticulously restored and reimagined for modern family living while retaining its original character and charm. A welcoming panelled entrance hall leads to a practical boot room and guest WC, setting the tone for a home that is both stylish and functional. The centrepiece of the house is a magnificent open plan kitchen, living and dining space with a flagstone style porcelain floor with underfloor heating and a wood burning stove.
The in frame timber Rhatigan and Hick kitchen complete with a generous centre island features an AGA, Bora hob and wine fridge, creating an ideal environment for both everyday living and entertaining. This space is supported by a glass fronted pantry and a large utility room with direct outdoor access. To the rear of the property, an attractive staircase hall connects a cosy snug with an open fireplace on one side with a versatile dining room or home office on the other, offering a balance of open-plan and more intimate reception areas.
Upstairs, there are four generously proportioned double bedrooms, two of which feature beautifully appointed ensuite bathrooms, while the remaining bedrooms share a stunning family bathroom fitted with a freestanding copper bath and a separate shower.
The accommodation is further enhanced by a separate guest house and staff cottage. The guest cottage provides a stylish two bedroom residence with a bright and thoughtfully designed open plan living, kitchen and dining area with vaulted ceilings, finished to an exceptional decorative standard and including a wood burning stove and cast iron radiators. The staff cottage is a well designed one bedroom unit with an open plan living, dining and kitchen space, offering excellent flexibility for staff accommodation, visiting guests or potential rental income.
Hallowberry Lodge is particularly notable for its outstanding equestrian facilities, which have been carefully planned and executed to a professional standard. These include two full size sand arenas by Niall Smyth Equestrian, one of which is covered, providing year round usability, as well as a ten stall stable block fitted by Rower and Rub comprising a tack room, solarium, feed room, wash down area and additional storage. A six horse walker further enhances the offering, while two substantial sheds, one open sided and one fully enclosed with a roller door, provide significant amounts of storage and operational space. The yard has been efficiently designed and is accessed via a dedicated service avenue, ensuring ease of use and separation from the main residence.
The grounds extend to approximately 12 acres of excellent quality grassland, laid out in a series of well maintained paddocks with piped water troughs. Mature boundaries and thoughtful landscaping combine to create a private and tranquil setting, perfectly suited to both equestrian and lifestyle use. Features
