THE famous Ballymacoll Stud in Dunboyne, Co Meath, is expected to generate great excitement when it comes to the market in the next two years. Described by a number of national agents as “the best stud farm to go up for sale in a number of years”, the interest in the property is expected to capture the attention of many international and Irish buyers.

Peter Reynolds, manager of the stud for the past 44 years, announced during the week that the prestigious operation would most likely be sold privately within the next two years, as he will be then due to retire.
