Property Description

A classic Irish Country Estate

Rahinstown Estate is an exceptional Irish country estate, ideally situated in the heart of County Meath, one of Ireland's most renowned sporting and agricultural regions. Combining historic grandeur with significant agricultural and amenity appeal, the estate extends to about 720 acres within a highly attractive ring-fenced holding.

At the centre of the estate stands an impressive mansion house, the origins of which date back to the early eighteenth century. Surrounded by mature parkland, specimen trees, formal gardens and pleasure grounds, the house occupies a commanding position within the estate and enjoys a
tranquil and private setting.

Complementing the principal residence is an extensive range of estate buildings, including an attractive traditional stable courtyard, substantial equestrian facilities and a traditional stone farmyard. The residential accommodation is further enhanced by a charming two-bedroom courtyard cottage and a separate three-bedroom bungalow situated towards the western boundary of the estate. Together, these assets provide flexibility for staff, guests or alternative income- producing uses.

A defining feature of Rahinstown Estate is the scale and quality of its landholding. Extending to about 720 acres in a single block surrounding the mansion house, the estate comprises productive free- draining pasture, mature woodland and commercial forestry. Extensive road frontage,
together with a well-developed network of internal estate roads, ensures excellent accessibility and operational efficiency throughout the holding.

Rarely does an estate of such scale, quality and heritage come to the market. Rahinstown offers a unique combination of historic significance,residential prestige, equestrian excellence and agricultural productivity, presenting a remarkable opportunity to acquire one of Ireland's finest country estates.

Rahinstown Estate occupies a highly attractive, prime and convenient position in County Meath, set amidst gently rolling countryside close to the village of Summerhill and within comfortable reach of Dublin City.

County Meath, widely known as the "Royal County," is steeped in history as the ancient seat of the High Kings of Ireland and today remains one of the country's most desirable residential and agricultural locations. It is home to renowned attractions such as the Hill of Tara, the famous megalithic burial tombs of Newgrange (Brú na Bóinne World Heritage Site) and the Battle of the Boyne Site.

The estate is located approximately 4 kilometres from the heritage village of Summerhill, which provides a range of local amenities, including shops, pubs and restaurants. The towns of Trim and Kilcock are equidistant from the estate and offer a more extensive selection of retail, educational and recreational facilities.

Dublin city centre is about 41 kilometres to the east of the estate and offers the full range of amenities, services and culture expected of a capital city.

The area is synonymous with equestrian excellence, being home to many of Ireland's and the world's leading stud farms, bloodstock operations and thoroughbred training establishments. Rahinstown Estate is ideally positioned within one of the country's most renowned bloodstock regions, with several of Ireland's premier racecourses located within easy reach, including Fairyhouse Racecourse (29 km), Punchestown Racecourse (40 km), The Curragh Racecourse (45 km) and Leopardstown Racecourse (52 km).

There is an excellent selection of golf courses in the area, including Kilcock Golf Club and Rathcore Golf Course. Other notable venues nearby include the renowned Carton House Golf Resort (10 km), host of multiple Irish Opens, and The K Club (24 km), one of Ireland's most celebrated championship courses and the host venue of the 2006 Ryder Cup.

The estate benefits from excellent transportation links, including the M4 (9 km) connecting Galway to Dublin City. Dublin's International Airport is 46 kilometres distant, while Dublin Port is 47 kilometres from the estate with regular sailings to the UK and Europe.

The area surrounding Rahinstown Estate is renowned for its productive tillage, dairy and stock- rearing farms and as such, has a well-developed agricultural infrastructure including a good selection of merchants, milk processors, livestock markets and abattoirs.
