Description

One of Ireland’s greatest estates... Situated less than thirty-five miles from Dublin, Castlemartin Stud Farm is a rare and fine example of Georgian architectural excellence with a stunning back-drop of the River Liffey and surrounding parkland. Located in County Kildare, known as the thoroughbred county, the landscape is dominated and characterised by the quality of its agricultural land, which is made up of carboniferous limestone, sand and gravel. This not only provides good drainage but the limestone helps to grow strong bone in young thoroughbreds. Castlemartin House, built in c.1720, is an early Georgian mansion. Consisting of some wonderful reception and entertaining rooms on the ground floor, as well as a library and several family rooms. Upstairs, there is the wonderfully appointed master suite consisting of his and hers bathrooms and a large dressing room. In addition to the master suite, there are a further 9 principal bedrooms in the main house.
