An 111-Acre Equestrian Estate in Ireland Is Listed for $9 Million

Tucked away in the storied heartland of Ireland, Clonhugh Lodge is a true equestrian paradise dressed in period charm but with all the modern conveniences. Located in the gently rolling landscape of County Westmeath—aptly dubbed the “Lakeland of Ireland”—this 111-acre waterfront estate is a rare blend of timeless elegance and contemporary comfort, tailor-made for those who dream of country living with a saddle always at the ready. 

Originally part of the illustrious Clonhugh Demesne, once home to Lord Greville (a former Member of Parliament for Westmeath from 1865 to 1874), the estate is on the market for €8 million (about $9 million) with Savills and Goffs. The main residence, a 12,102-square-foot manor, was envisioned with an eye for detail and a flair for period architecture. Think six plush bedroom suites, seven stately reception rooms, a cinema, a private office, and an impressive wellness complex. The latter sports an indoor swimming pool, a jacuzzi, a sauna, and a gym—all designed under the gaze of the late Peter Johnson.

According to The Irish Times, Johnson was a leading interior designer renowned over a 35-year career for his work on prestigious residences, hotels, and historic properties across Ireland, including the five-star K Club in Straffan. 

But it’s the equestrian facilities at Clonhugh Lodge that truly steal the show. With five stables, a sand arena, and a tack room, the palatial spread is a dream for horse lovers. The land, crisscrossed with internal roads and enclosed by stud-railed paddocks, makes for a seamless riding experience. Whether you’re training a thoroughbred or enjoying a relaxed trot through the parkland, the terrain is equal parts functional and fairytale.

The estate’s elevated perch offers uninterrupted views over Lough Owel—a glittering freshwater lake and one of the largest in Westmeath. Landscaped by Andrew Glenn-Craigie, the grounds are decked out with lush lawns, winding paths, and a secret garden, complete with a tennis court, vegetable plot, and even a cozy BBQ hut for lakeside entertaining. 

Despite its idyllic setting, Clonhugh Lodge is anything but remote. Under 90 minutes from Dublin Airport, it’s perfectly positioned for those who value both privacy and proximity. “Clonhugh Lodge presents one of the finest opportunities in the country to acquire an exceptional contemporary estate benefitting from spectacular views across Lough Owel and within easy access to Dublin City,” says Savills property agent Josh Pim.
