Historic pony stud has a widespread appeal.

AN EXCITING property is new to market comprising a period house, separate cottage and 34 acres of land.

Seaview Farm on the Kilbrittain Road is a distinguished 300-year-old, five-bed house, complete with a cottage, stables and a range of traditional outbuildings, all set within 34 acres.

Selling agent Henry O’Leary explains that it’s available as a whole or in any combination of three suggested lots, which adds to its appeal.

‘The first lot is the  period house on 18 acres; second is four acres and the third is the  cottage on two acres; and 16 acres also an option,’ he said.

The property is steeped in history and equestrian heritage: ‘Seaview Farm was the birthplace of the renowned Coosheen Connemara Pony Stud, founded here in 1960. Among its champions was the celebrated stallion Coosheen Finn, chosen in 1997 as the outstanding breeding stallion of his day and honoured on an Irish postage stamp,’ said Henry.

The primary house extends to 2,500 sq foot of living space and strikes a balance between period elegance and liveable comfort.

Beyond the house , is a courtyard of traditional stone-built stables and farm buildings. There’s also a sheltered orchard and some small paddocks.

‘The wider holding extends to 34 acres, available as a whole or in any combination of three suggested lots, offering great flexibility to prospective buyers,’ said Henry.

Also included in the sale is a derelict cottage, vacant for many years, and while it requires complete restoration, it could qualify for government grants aimed at vacant and derelict property. For the right buyer, this modest building could hold the key to unlocking a much greater vision,’ added Henry.
