A Fine Georgian
Residence with Compact Stud Yard on c. 91 Acres
Paddy Jordan of Jordan
Town & Country Estate Agents has just received instructions on a most
wonderful property on the Tipperary/Waterford border, the property of the late
Phonsie O’Brien. Landscape Stud includes
a fine Georgian residence (c. 4,500 sq.ft.) with compact stud yard, 14 boxes,
staff flat and ancillary facilities on c. 91 Acres in a wonderful mature
setting overlooking the River Suir.
Landscape House was built
in the 1790s and was originally part of the Mount Congreve Estate. The
Congreves who had an eye for the future, planted many specimen trees that are
still there to this day. Phonsie O Brien and his wife Ann bought the property
in the late 1970s and have maintained the grounds in a way that the original
owners would have been proud of.
Phonsie
was a successful amateur rider for his brother the famous Vincent O’Brien and
among many other races rode the winner of 10 Gloucester hurdles at the
Cheltenham Festival.
In
1956 Phonsie took out a trainer’s licence and is best remembered for his four
consecutive winners of the Galway Plate (which is a record to this day) and
winning the Irish Derby with Chamour.
Phonsie
dedicated the next 40 years to Landscape and turned his attention to breeding
and pinhooking national hunt foals with notable success.
His
second passion was fishing and many hours were spent with friends on the river
telling yarns and catching salmon and trout.
The
property which is a delightful Georgian residence is situated in the heart of
good hunting country with the Kilkennys, Tipperarys, Waterfords and Kilmoganny
Harriers all nearby.
Racing
is in Clonmel, Gowran Park, Tramore, Tipperary and Cork. Whilst there is golf in Clonmel, Mount Juliet
and Waterford. The property has a ¾ mile
single bank fishing on the River Suir with plenty of trout and salmon.
The
accommodation includes: entrance hall, magnificent drawingroom,
study/familyroom, diningroom, kitchen office, cloakroom, 4 bedrooms and 2
bathrooms. In addition there is a guest
suite which includes a bedroom and bathroom.
The
yard includes 14 boxes, a 3 bedroom staff flat, haybarns, 8 unit walker,
lunging ring, walled garden and 3 isolation boxes.
The
land is mainly limestone laid out in 8 paddocks all in permanent pasture with
superb shelter and extensive road frontage.
Its
location just outside the Village of Kilsheelan 4 miles Clonmel, 7 miles
Carrick on Suir and convenient to Waterford.
The
property is for sale by Public Auction on Wednesday 25th July @
12.00pm in the Hotel Minella, Clonmel unless previously sold. Paddy Jordan is guiding €1.3m and Paddy
commented that it is seldom that such an attractive property comes on the
market and whilst it is being run as a private stud, it is also ideally
suitable for the sport horse enthusiast, pinhooker, sales prep with a lovely
family home.
