THE late Patsy Byrne’s beautiful 74-acre Castleshane Stud in Adare, Co Limerick, is on the market with a price tag of €2.1 million through Goffs Property and will be the dream property for a breeder or racehorse trainer looking to improve their facilities.

A turnkey breeding complex, superbly positioned in a delightful setting with panoramic views over the rolling countryside and distant mountains, it is located just 4.5km from the historical village of Adare and a 15 minute drive from Limerick city. The property also benefits from an excellent road network via the M7 and N21.

The property is accessed via electric security gates and tarmacadam driveway. Upon entry there are two sizable residences to the front. One boosts six bedrooms while the other has three.

The purpose built American barn to the rear of the houses is most impressive. Inside there is 21 boxes and two larger foaling boxes, as well as a tack room, feed room, office, dedicated veterinary room and a wash bay. A shower room is also provided for staff and clients, as well as two toilets.

There is a loading bay for both a horse box and trailer, a large area for straw, hay and shavings and a sizable machinery shed. The late owner also had a love for greyhounds and there is a kennels as well as a two-furlong greyhound sand gallop with a sprinkler system.

The paddocks are another wow factor. All 13 are in grass with classy post and railing and water laid on. An additional two all-weather paddocks means the four legged residents get their fresh air in every weather, and a six-horse walker and lunging ring in a huge addition for any potential owner.

Those wishing to keep cattle, there is a two-span haybarn with winter shelter and a cattle shoot, pen and crush off.

The stud benefits from superb infrastructure with a high standard of equipment installed throughout and has an enviable record as a breeding ground for exceptional thoroughbreds. Security is a guaranteed with electric gates at both front and rear access.

Racing at Limerick, Tipperary and Cork are all within close driving distance, and for the hunting fans, the Limerick Foxhounds hunt in the surrounding area.
