A CONTEMPORARY TRAIL RUN EXPERIENCE
Monaghan Farm is a place where the land still leads the story. These well groomed grasslands stretch open beneath wide skies, while a gentle river winds quietly through the estate, shaping daily life with its calm presence.
Here, the Jukskei River is not a feature to be admired from a distance, but a thread that weaves life, movement, and stillness into the heart of Monaghan.
