Featuring a four-box stable and triple garage with automatic doors, Ridgewood House is a spacious property situated near the heart of the Curragh in Co. Kildare.

An impressive residence sitting on 3.2 acres of lush countryside with four stables, Ridgewood House would make a fine home for equestrian lovers. Approached through electric gates, a sweeping gravel drive leads up to the front of the property where the front door greets you.

Built in 2009, it’s a modern, energy-efficient home and is in excellent condition. Highlights include geothermal underfloor heating, sash double-glazed windows, a central vacuum system, a large sandstone patio with inset lighting and a triple garage with automatic doors.

Inside, the accommodation is bright and spacious with an abundance of large windows that allow a lovely flow of natural light throughout. The kitchen is a true standout with contemporary cabinets, granite countertops and a large island in the centre of the room. This room also features a vaulted ceiling with recessed lighting, a Belfast sink, a Rangemaster cooker and a Smeg integrated dishwasher. The polished sandstone flooring is both aesthetic and easy to keep clean. A tiled utility room is adjacent, offering additional storage and counter space.

The master suite features its own walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite with a double rainwater shower. The other three bedrooms share a bathroom with a bath and a double rainwater shower.

Outside, the grounds span just over 3 acres with the property enclosed by hedges. The stable block contains four boxes. Situated in a quiet rural setting in the heart of the bloodstock industry, the property is only 1.4km from the world-famous Curragh plains where you’ll find circa 4,500 sq. ft. of open parkland.

Kildare town is less than 5km away while Newbridge, Kilcullen and Naas are all under 20km away and offer an excellent selection of restaurants, pubs, schools and shopping. The area also benefits from superb road and rail infrastructure, with M7 access, myriad bus routes and commuter rail services from Newbridge and Kildare stations direct to Dublin city centre.

For sporting enthusiasts, nearby activities range from athletics to rugby, GAA, soccer, swimming, basketball, canoeing, fishing, horse riding, golf and of course, horse racing in the Curragh, Naas and Punchestown.

Currently on the market for €850,000, viewing is recommended and can be organised through Jordan Town and Country Estate Agents. In the meantime, take a virtual tour of this beautiful Kildare home in our gallery below.
