This exceptional residence is offered for sale by Sherry FitzGerald, exclusive Affiliate in Ireland for Christie’s International Real Estate
The long history of the estate goes back to the 1700s and the property was later the seat of the Bradstreet Baronetcy in the 19th century. More recently the property has provided an ideal gem for entertaining friends and guests, with an authentic traditional Irish pub and a state-of-the-art 90-seat theater The Old Barn Playhouse, which has been staging one-off annual productions for charity.
The granddaughter of the late Tony Ryan, founder of Ryanair, has brought to the market Stacumny house, a six-acre Georgian estate, which enjoys a rural setting in Celbridge, Co Kildare, only 18 kilometers from the center of Dublin and three kilometers from a private airport.
The layout of the estate resembles that of a mini village, the main residence includes eight exquisite bedrooms and eight bathrooms. On the top floor of the house, there are three quaint double guest bedrooms with William Morris-style wallpaper; the main bedroom has a double-height walk-in wardrobe and an enormous en suite bathroom. On the other side of the property, a more recently-renovated wing offers more bedrooms and a playroom.
The property has been recently meticulously restored with detailed renovations taking place in 1995 and 2011, adding geothermal and under-floor heating throughout the property. The interiors of the house can only be described as fit for royalty, with a number of imposing reception rooms on the ground floor including a 940-square-meter reception room. Adjoining the grand entrance hall is a bow-fronted morning room, a richly appointed drawing room, and a mahogany-panelled dining room with fabric-lined walls, a library, a rustic kitchen, and an impressive wine cellar.
Tancred Lidbury - Associate Director for Europe at Christie's International Real Estate says, “This is an extremely rare opportunity to purchase an exceptional Georgian house and estate with such a rich history of Ireland. The principal house has been beautifully and meticulously restored and equipped for modern living. The estate also includes the flexibility of accommodation allowing numerous guests and staff.”
“Stacumny House is just superb and exemplifies meticulous restoration in great style according to the period of the house. It is as equally a Gentleman’s Residence as it is a family home and the owners have successfully mingled both seamlessly – every inch of the house, lodges, and landscaped feature gardens are hospitable and welcoming, ideal for daily life, leisure, entertaining, and running your business from. Stacumny is a must-see property that will take your breath away,” says Philip Sherry from Sherry FitzGerald.
Outside in the courtyard, there is a Moroccan-themed entertainment room with wraparound seating and an original lantern shipped from Marrakech. The 20-meter swimming pool is further complemented by a sauna, a wet room and a massage room, a kitchen, and a gym. Further buildings include an office building and three houses for staff accommodation with a fully equipped catering kitchen.
