45-acre South Wexford farm for auction guiding at €16k/acre
Coming under the hammer on Tuesday, July 1, at the Ballinaboola Hotel outside New Ross in County Wexford is a 45-acre quality farm at Ballinruane – 16km to the south of the auction site.
The auction will also be accepting bids online but the experience of auctioneers around the country is that when a hybrid auction such as this takes place, the main action is normally concentrated on the floor rather than via the internet.
In any case, what's on offer is sure to entice – a substantial quantity of good grassland in a year when land parcels of this size have been scarce, according to selling agent Anne Carton of New Ross-based P N O'Gorman Auctioneers.
'It's all in permanent pasture… four to five units in very good condition with water laid on,' says Anne.
'It's an ideal size and surrounded by a couple of dairy farms. It was an outside farm and it's being sold as an executor sale. There's been good interest, so hopefully it will go well.'
The price guide is in the region of €16,000/acre. It's one that should be achievable on the day.

Mayo records notable house price increases amid ‘very low supply'
According to the latest House Price Report, the average house price in Mayo in Q2 of 2025 stood at €234,406. This is 52.3pc higher than pre-Covid prices and 4.1pc higher than the previous quarter. Every house type in Mayo recorded an increase in prices. Most notable was the price of a one-bedroom apartment, which jumped from 23.4pc to €102,000. This comes amid a nationwide annual increase in house prices. County Laois recorded the biggest annual increase, rising 16.6pc to €284,031 while Monaghan rose 2.2 pc to €245,222. Dr Ronan Lyons, author of the House Price Report, said the housing market was 'starved of supply' at present. 'The underlying reason is largely unchanged. There are simply too few homes on the market at the moment,' he said. Today (Monday, June 23) there are 868 properties in Mayo listed for sale on Elsewhere, the Real Estate Alliance (REA) has found that the average price of a second-hand three-bed semi-detached house in Mayo has increased to €265,000. This represents a 8.2pc increase in just three months – the highest increase of any area recorded during that period. According to the Q2 REA Average House Price Index, the average time taken to sell a property has increased by one week to a total of five. 'We are experiencing very low supply, with a total of just seven properties sold in Castlebar in this quarter,' said Robert McGreal of REA McGreal Burke. 'There are eleven properties on market currently with an average of €265,000 as well.' ADVERTISEMENT The survey shows that across the county, 50pc of purchasers were first-time buyers. A 20pc of sales in Mayo this quarter were attributed to landlords leaving the market. Additionally, agents across the county reported that the BER ratings of properties saw A-rated properties command 28pc price increases in comparison to comparable C-rated properties. Castlebar-based auctioneer Kevin Beirne told the Irish Independent that new building regulations were contributing to house price inflation. 'There is such a different now between a modern new home with all the building regulations and the energy efficiency of them, that's why there is such a difference in the price. Building materials and triple-glazed windows and all that are longer lasting,' he said.

13.5-acre East Cork holding has something for everyone
An intriguing 13-acre holding is new to the market with Midleton-based Hegarty Properties. A mixture of prime land, forestry and a quality home, it will attract a variety of interests. The property at Rathcuppogue is known as Meadowbrook Farm and is 7km south of Cloyne, 6km from Inch and 11km south of Midleton, in a very fertile part of East Cork. 'It's in the middle of everywhere, because you're surrounded by places like Cloyne village and Rostellan and only 10 minutes from Midleton on a very good road… and, you can walk to the beach,' says selling agent Adrianna Hegarty. The house is a south-facing two-storey farmhouse — built in the 1930s, extended in the 1960s, it has undergone substantial renovations and further extension in recent years. The land, however, also presents a strong attraction according to Ms Hegarty. 'The land is a big part of the property's appeal,' she says. 'People of all backgrounds are crying out for land.' For someone looking for some extra acreage, it may well suit to purchase and rent out the house and its substantial storage. The property's outbuildings include a hay shed, machinery shed, storage sheds and workshop. Both the grassland (about 7.5 acres) and the forestry land (five acres) are generating additional annual income — respectively €1,300 and €750. 'There's a lot of interest from people with horses, for example,' says Ms Hegarty says. The price guide is €610,000 but with an unusual property such as this, Ms Hegarty says it will be the market that decides its value. Read More 24.5-acre Waterford holding due for July auction
