in the Keadeen Hotel, Newbridge, Co. Kildare.


An outstanding opportunity to acquire approximately 32 acres / 12.95 hectares of top-quality land at Moorhill, Brannockstown, Co. Kildare.

The lands occupy an exceptional location at Moorhill, Brannockstown, Co. Kildare, in one of the most highly regarded and sought-after parts of the county.

The lands are all in grass and laid out in two well-sized divisions, providing an attractive and easily managed holding.

The lands are of excellent quality and should appeal to farmers, adjoining landowners and equestrian purchasers, while their scale, location and road frontage are likely to be of particular interest to investors, land bankers and strategic purchasers.

The property may also offer an attractive opportunity for the creation of a high-quality residential and equestrian holding, with ample space for a residence, stable yard, paddocks and associated facilities, subject to obtaining all necessary planning permissions.

One of the outstanding features of the property is its extensive road frontage onto both the Dunlavin Road and Ballymore Eustace Road. This dual frontage provides excellent accessibility and is an important attribute from both an existing-use and longer-term strategic perspective.

Of further interest, the CSO-defined settlement boundary for Brannockstown intersects the holding. The CSO settlement boundary is prepared for statistical purposes and is separate from the planning authority's Rural Settlement Boundary. It does not constitute a zoning or planning designation and does not confer development rights. Nevertheless, its relationship with the lands further illustrates the property's close physical association with the existing settlement and is an interesting feature for purchasers considering the holding from a longer-term perspective.

Brannockstown is an attractive rural settlement surrounded by some of Co. Kildare's finest countryside and is renowned as a desirable residential, agricultural and equestrian location. The property lies in the heart of Kildare's renowned bloodstock country, an area synonymous with thoroughbred breeding and home to a number of prominent stud farms and equestrian holdings. Sallymount Stud and Gilltown Stud, to name but a few, are located in the wider locality, underlining the calibre and prestige of this exceptional rural setting. The surrounding countryside is characterised by top-quality farmland, established stud farms and substantial country residences, reflecting the long-standing association of this part of Kildare with the bloodstock and equestrian industries.

Despite its attractive rural setting, the property is exceptionally well positioned. Kilcullen is approximately 5km away, providing an excellent range of shops, schools, restaurants, sporting facilities and everyday amenities. Ballymore Eustace is approximately 6 km, Dunlavin 7 km and Naas 13 km from the property.

Accessibility is a further significant advantage, with both the M7 and M9 motorways approximately 15 minutes' drive away, providing excellent connectivity.
