Extensive agricultural and residential estate in the heart of Meath
Brownstown is an outstanding agricultural and residential estate with a contiguous block of productive, versatile land extending to about 564 acres (228 hectares) in total. Occupying a fine situation in the heart of County Meath, the estate is extremely accessible, with access to the N2 situated less than 5 kilometres to the north, while Dublin International Airport is 42 kilometres distant.
At the core of Brownstown Estate is a substantial period house which provides comfortable and well-balanced accommodation. The Regency-Neo Classical designed period house is set within formal garden grounds and mature parkland. Impressive front and rear tree-lined driveways provide access to the house.
A key feature of the estate is the dairy enterprise and associated land. The extensive dairy complex comprises a 50-unit Pearson rotary parlour with cubicle accommodation for over 470 cows and heifers, indoor and outdoor silage pits and slurry storage.
Brownstown Estate is carrying an in-hand herd of 335 mostly registered Holstein dairy cows, plus followers. Calving is split between spring and autumn and replacement heifers are reared on-farm. Milk is supplied under contract to Glanbia, with milking taking place twice daily (for a duration of about 1.5 hours per milking). Typically, three cuts of silage are taken annually, with a small area of cereals also grown. Silage work and slurry spreading is contracted out, while the farm is a member of the Bord Bia Quality Assurance programme.
Located at the rear entrance is a two-storey, gate lodge of traditional construction. A characterful traditional range of outbuildings lying to the north of Brownstown House provide supplementary residential accommodation, with two apartments and further third apartment in need of renovation.
The traditional range also includes the equestrian facilities comprising stables, tack rooms and stores, while an outdoor arena adjoins.
A particular advantage of the estate is the extent and quality of the farmland which lies in a contiguous block and includes about 531 acres tillage/pasture. While the land is predominantly in grass to serve the dairy enterprise, some arable crops are typically also grown at Brownstown. The land benefits from an excellent infrastructure, including good access via the public roads and a network of internal tracks, fencing and the water supply. About 7 acres of mature woods provide amenity.
Brownstown Estate presents one of the finest opportunities in recent years to acquire both an extensive and productive agricultural estate in County Meath, which is well-served with residential accommodation and an equipped modern dairy complex.
