THERE’S NO DOUBT that this 192 acre estate is a haven for horse enthusiasts, trainers and investors seeking both luxury living and a commercial opportunity.
With its diverse facilities, Mount Corbitt offers potential income streams from equestrian activities, property rentals and agricultural production, including commercial forestry and farmland.
The estate offers not just one but three properties. Alongside the main house, Rose Cottage and Lavender Cottage provide charming, self-contained accommodation currently rented out to tenants. Ballygrace House, a Georgian-style detached property, includes its own stable yard and has been used for both staff and private rental purposes.
All-in, Mount Corbitt House and Stables is on the market for €4,500,000.
The centrepiece of this remarkable property is Mount Corbitt House, a large Georgian-style building that dates to 1780. Painstakingly restored in 2006, the home has a floor area of about 530 m² that’s filled with timeless charm spread across four floors. With six bedrooms, all of which have en suite bathrooms, a bespoke handcrafted kitchen and grand reception rooms brimming with period details, the house balances formal elegance with cosier, more family friendly spaces.
Each reception room highlights this home’s historic roots. The living room, with its large sash windows and handcrafted shutters, is bathed in natural light and offers great views of the front gardens.
Similarly, the dining room impresses with its generous proportions, paneled feature wall and a central open fire that’s perfect for hosting elegant dinners. Beyond, a charming informal living room and a games room add to the house’s versatility.
The expansive kitchen and dining area is an open plan space with exposed beams and an Aga. A double sweeping staircase leads to a mezzanine level, while floor-to-ceiling doors open onto the terrace.
The upper floors include the main bedroom suite with its luxurious en suite bathroom and fitted furniture. Three more bedrooms are located on the first floor, with three more bedrooms and a family bathroom on the second floor.
Outside, manicured gardens, rose beds and a thoughtfully placed Ha-Ha create an ambiance of tranquility, offering uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside. The south facing terrace and orchard provide perfect settings for entertaining or or simply relaxing.
For equestrian professionals, Mount Corbitt is the absolute dream property. Its meticulously designed facilities include 47 stables across multiple yards, a tack room, hay barns and a quarantine area. There are two horse walkers and a 200 m indoor school. There’s extensive gallops, including a 4.5-furlong uphill track and a 4-furlong round gallop developed by experts in the field.
A cross-country course designed by international specialist Peter Fell comes complete with fences, hurdles and a water jump.
These features, combined with ample paddocks and well-maintained roadways, position Mount Corbitt as a turnkey solution for trainers, breeders or anyone with a passion for equestrian sports.
Close to Churchtown Village, the estate enjoys a rich equestrian heritage as it’s just a short distance from the site of the first steeplechase in 1752. Proximity to Mallow Racecourse and other major tracks enhances its appeal, as do the excellent transport links to Cork, Limerick and Shannon.
It’s certainly not a property for the faint-hearted, but Mount Corbitt House and Stables is guaranteed to provide endless possibilities and revenue streams to whoever is brave enough to take it on.
