# Ryanair co-founder’s Kentucky horse farm listed for $57.5M 2026-08-15T16:54:20+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Ryanair co-founder Tony Ryan bought the 951-acre Castleton Farm in Kentucky for $14 million in 2001. His family has now listed the horse-breeding estate for $57.5 million, according to The Wall Street Journal. The property, near Lexington, dates back to 1793 and includes a Greek Revival mansion, 16 barns with 268 stalls, 10 homes, and a rare equine cemetery. After Ryan's death in 2007, his son Shane Ryan took over. Shane is selling because he spends more time in Europe and his children have less interest in horses. The estate will go to auction on October 28 as the final lot of the third Keeneland Championship Sale. Castleton Farm bred famous racehorses including Domino, Sysonby and Ben Brush. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
