Description

Tara Stud comprises c.595 acres of prime Co. Meath farmland, with an enviable array of yards and residential properties in close proximity to Dublin. A source of Classic winners and Gr.1 horses, Tara Stud has a proud thoroughbred history in Ireland and internationally. It also is a renowned beef cattle farm, and is home to some of the most productive grazing land in the region. Tara Stud has enjoyed 80 years of stability and success under the current management and ownership.

The lands are in one main block surrounding three yards, with a blend of larger fields and well fenced paddocks.

The lands benefit from all year round access via 6km of road frontage, and 3km of internal roads.

The farm is in premier productive condition. The highly fertile free-draining deep clay limestone soils have been expertly managed for long term success.

The grazing pastures are organically managed, as is most of the silage and hay ground. Good tillage crops can be grown on the farm.
