RED Lodge, once the home of two-time Irish champion jockey Toss Taaffe and wife Ann, is set to go on the market in Rathcoole, Co Dublin with a guide price in excess of €1,050,000.

A handsome country residence set on over 30 acres at its Tay Lane address, it has been described by Coonan Property as “carrying the prestige of Ireland’s racing heritage while offering a strategic landholding on the outskirts of Dublin”.

The residence is a substantial five-bedroom home of some 3,350 sq.ft (311 sq.m) surrounded by mature gardens, fruit orchards, and sweeping paddocks. The yard is equipped with 18 loose boxes, a five-bay hayshed with lean-to, tack rooms, and all-weather gallops, making it immediately suitable for equestrian use.

There is significant benefit to Red Lodge’s location, being just 500 metres from the N7 and with rapid access to the M50. The property is also a short distance from Greenogue Industrial Estate, one of the country’s largest and most successful business parks. It is currently zoned “RU” under the South Dublin County Development Plan.
