Property: Rahinstown Estate, which covers 720-acres in the heart of Co Meath, goes on the market for €14.5 million

Rahinstown Estate, a remarkable 720-acre country estate in the heart of Co Meath, has been brought to the market by Savills Ireland by Private Treaty.

Located just 41km from Dublin city centre and 46km from Dublin Airport, Rahinstown Estate represents one of the most significant residential and agricultural estates to come to the Irish market in recent years, combining a distinguished country house, extensive equestrian facilities, productive farmland and woodland within a single ring-fenced holding.

At the heart of the estate stands Rahinstown House, an impressive Italianate mansion dating from the 19th century on the site of the original Georgian residence.

The house extends over three storeys above a basement and retains a wealth of original architectural features, including elegant reception rooms, period plasterwork, marble fireplaces and a grand cantilevered staircase.

The estate also includes two additional residential properties, a traditional stable courtyard with 24 loose boxes, extensive equestrian infrastructure, traditional farm buildings and a modern stable complex.

The land comprises approximately 480 acres of productive arable and pasture land, 181 acres of woodland and a further 59 acres of scrub and amenity land.

Steeped in history, Rahinstown was originally developed by the Bomford family in the early 18th century before passing to the Fowler family, who commissioned the present mansion in the 1870s following the destruction of the original house by fire.

The estate became renowned as one of the great sporting estates of County Meath and famously welcomed Empress Elisabeth of Austria during her hunting visits to Ireland.

James Butler, Director, Savills Ireland, said: "Rahinstown Estate is one of the most exceptional country estates to come to the Irish market in many years.

"Opportunities to acquire a property of this scale, heritage and quality are exceptionally rare.

"The estate combines an elegant historic residence with first-class agricultural land, extensive woodland and well-established equestrian facilities, all within a beautifully maintained ring-fenced holding.

"It offers an outstanding opportunity for private ownership, diversification, sporting interests or a significant agricultural enterprise.

"Rahinstown also enjoys an excellent location in one of Ireland's most renowned bloodstock and farming regions, while remaining within easy reach of Dublin, making it a truly unique offering in today's market."

Rahinstown Estate is situated close to Summerhill in Co Meath, with easy access to Trim, Kilcock, the M4 motorway and Dublin.

The property is offered for sale by Private Treaty through Savills with a Guide price of €14.5 million. Further information and viewings are available strictly by appointment.
