124ac Wexford farm set for September auction
A 124-acre Wexford farm coming up for online auction on Tuesday, September 2, has something to offer a wide range of parties. The property is at Killisk. With the Ballagh village 3km away, it's 15km east of Enniscorthy and 20km north of Wexford town. The holding is presented in five separate lots. Lot 1 is physically separate from the other lots, which are just 600m away, and consists of 25.6 acres of land. 'It's currently in grass,' says selling agent David Quinn of Gorey-based auctioneers Quinn Property. It's of excellent quality and has potential sand deposits Lot 2 is a 7.7-acre parcel containing a derelict farmhouse, as well as some outbuildings. The latter includes a two-span round-roof shed, a five-span shed with lean-to and other stone outbuildings in poor repair. Lot 3 consists of 53 acres of grassland, and Lot 4 consists of 14.7 acres of grassland. The holding in Wexford is presented in five separate lots. In both of these cases, the land hasn't been farmed intensively in a number of years and improvement work is required to bring them back up to a high standard. Lot 5 is 23 acres of rough grazing requiring drainage and reseeding and may be suitable for forestry. Lot 1 is guiding €12,000-€15,000/acre. Lots 2, 3, and 4 are guiding €10,000-€12,000/acre, and Lot 5 is €7,000- €8,000/acre.

Selling agent David Quinn of Gorey-based auctioneers Quinn Property expects good interest in this convenient parcel which is a five-minute drive from the M11.

58-acre South Wicklow farm snapped up pre-auction
A 58-acre holding in South Wicklow, featured here on May 28, was due for online public auction on Wednesday June 18, but it was sold beforehand. Located just 1.7km from the village of Knockananna and 11km from Tinahely, the holding was close to the border with Carlow and Wexford, with a public road running through it. The farm was due to be offered in four lots, with David Quinn of Gorey-based auctioneers Quinn Property, describing it as a 'valuable parcel of land' which enjoyed 'an excellent location along the L2004'. The property is in grass with parts of rough grazing and suitable for a number of agricultural uses, with easily accessible fields ideal for grazing or tillage. Prior to the auction, the farm was guiding in the region of €350,000 (€6,000/acre). With such substantial acreage as this, it is unsurprising that the interest pre-auction would be significant. 'There was a nice bit of interest in the property,' Mr Quinn said afterwards, without disclosing what the final price agreed was. He did say, however, it was in excess of the guide price.

35-acre Wexford holding fetches almost €28k/acre at auction
Last featured here just two weeks ago, a 35-acre farm near Gorey, County Wexford, was successfully sold at an online auction last week on Wednesday, May 28. The property had a pre-auction expectation of between €15,000 and €20,000/acre, its location next to the picturesque village of Coolgreaney giving it something of an edge that might bring its value above its purely agricultural usage. The high-quality lands have extensive road frontage and a natural water course. They were in tillage until recently. Prior to the sale, auctioneer David Quinn of Gorey-based Quinn Property said that there were 10 registered bidders – 'mostly local farmers and businessmen.' Lot 1 (4.25 acres) and Lot 2 (30.35 acres) were offered initially, reaching a combined value of €530,000 (€15,100/acre). There appeared to be a stronger appetite for the entire holding (Lot 3). When it was offered to the virtual floor, rapid bidding brought the value to €850,000 (€24,300/acre). Lots 1 and 2 were offered once more and this time the combined value hit €890,000 before another bid on Lot 3 brought it to €910,000. It was only when another round on Lots 1 and 2 brought the combined total to €940,000 that bids on Lot 3 ceased and the property was then declared on the market. Four more bids on Lot 1 brought it to €140,000 (€32,200/acre) and a final bid on Lot 2 resulted in €830,000 (€27,300/acre). With a combined figure of €970,000 (€27,700/acre), it was well in excess of its expectations. Read More Good-value acreage in 58-acre Wicklow farm for June auction
