Land for sale in Newtownards
A wonderful opportunity to acquire an exceptional equestrian facility set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, enjoying an elevated and secluded position with stunning views across the surrounding countryside towards Strangford Lough and the Mourne Mountains.
The Yard at Ballygraffan has operated for many years as a private eventing yard and, more recently, as an equine therapy centre. Purpose-built and extremely well organised, this outstanding facility offers an impressive range of equestrian amenities and is rarely available to the open market.
The Yard comprises a large, fully equipped barn, five very large stables, a four-horse covered walker with rubber tile surface, ten field shelters, a lunging pen and much more. The property includes approximately 13 acres of land, together with a 60m x 20m sand and fibre manège, with the total site extending to over 14 acres.
There is ample parking for vehicles and equipment, along with additional gravelled areas providing further turnout space.
The substantial barn incorporates an enclosed bay with an electric roller shutter, large enough to accommodate an HGV lorry. It also provides extensive storage and feeding areas, a toilet and a fully fitted tack room with kitchenette. An extensive mezzanine provides additional storage space.
The land is divided into separate paddocks, each benefiting from post-and-rail fencing, a water drinker and a robust permanent field shelter. The shelters feature rubber mattress flooring and Bangor Blue slate roofs. Gateways and the areas immediately in front of the shelters have been stoned, ensuring practical access and usability throughout the winter months.
The approximately 13 acres of exceptionally dry land adjoining the barn provide excellent grazing and are suitable for use throughout the winter.
