Mount Corbitt House,

Churchtown, Mallow, Co Cork

Asking price: €4,500,000

JIM Culloty has placed his magnificent home and training grounds on the market.

Mount Corbitt House is situated on 193 acres of top-class land in Churchtown, Mallow, Co Cork, and has an asking price of €4.5 million.

This is where Culloty prepared Lord Windermere to win the RSA Chase at Cheltenham in 2013 and the Gold Cup a year later. Culloty stopped training in 2018.

The facilities in Mount Corbitt are second to none. The farm boasts a near five-furlong carpet-fibre hill gallop, four-furlong sand round gallop, extensive schooling ground and indoor school.

There is a vast amount of acreage that allows the horses to be galloped on grass during fairer weather.

Nearby is the legendary grass gallop that Vincent O’Brien successfully trained from, not 10 minutes from Mount Corbitt.

The main yard is fitted with rubber throughout and there is a solarium and ice water spa, wash bays and two horsewalkers.

Mount Corbitt House itself was originally built in the late 18th century and offers more than 5,700sq ft of living space. It is in superb condition throughout as is its terrace and rear gardens.

Accommodation includes seven bedrooms (four with ensuite facilities), main bathroom, two guest toilets, kitchen/breakfast room, sitting room, games room, dining room, drawing room, boot room and laundry.

The adjoining courtyard has two two-bedroom cottages (Rose Cottage and Lavender Cottage, both currently let), adjacent to stables, tack room, large canteen, office space, reception area and bar area.

Beyond this, there are expansive equestrian facilities, including 47 stables.

The lands are enclosed by a post-and-rail fence with extensive roadways. Hedgerows are mostly beech and meticulously maintained. Of the circa 193 acres, there are about 23 acres of commercial forestry and 16.5 acres of woodland.

The second detached home — known as Ballygrace House — is also in superb condition, offering 2,151sq ft of living space, with a separate entrance.
