This £2 Million House Has Its Own Go Kart Track And We Want It
In central London - where CT has its headquarters - £2 million won’t get you all that far. Some of the posher areas of the capital are so hilariously expensive, you’ll only snag an (admittedly quite posh) flat for that sum. But take that kitty to rural Northern Ireland, and you could instead buy this: a 28 acre estate with five bedrooms, a swimming pool, sauna, gym, a triple garage and almost enough toilets to use a different one every day. Oh, and it includes a one-kilometre-long kart track.
It’s an MSA-approved facility with a race office, garages, a workshop and even a small children’s’ track plus play area. A business called Railway Karting currently operates the track.
On a Facebook post published on 5 August, the firm said that “the property may be up for sale, but business is open as usual unless stated otherwise,” and that they hoped to stay open “for as long as possible”. It’ll be interesting to see if the next owner keeps the track open to the public as a money spinner, or reserves it for themselves as a private playground. What would you do?
Whatever the buyer decides to do, there’ll have plenty of activities to keep occupied outside of racing. The house also has a hot tub, cinema room and - for when you want a change of scenery - a helipad.
The price for this? £2,250,000 ($2.9 million). You can check out more images of the place here.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Talk about value for money
This thing costs 3 million dollars
And yet it’s still a better value for money than a Dacia
My mx5 is pretty much a go kart, perfect
Was about to say the same x)
Here in Portugal we use go kart tracks for a lot of things.
We did a Renault Clio RS time attack on one.
I’d be happy just with the go-kart track and that little hut next to it
Same! House would be nice tho
Partys at this house would consist of endurance races. Just perfect.
Considering you are buying this, you continue to open the track to public, you invest in this house as a business. The money you earn is going to reumbourse the house.
It’s free real estate in a way
That would be a great way for me to rationalize buying it! Unfortunately I don’t think you would make enough money on public kart racing to actually pay the mortgage on a $3million home
Organise kart days as usual but add drifting initiation and drifting days. Since it’s small and twisted, low power is more than enough
Can I haz for free?
No
Why not just remove the house and go kart track and make the entire plot a racetrack?
I think I found my dream house
🤤 I want it
