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

Sale of Wexford mansion ‘one of the most significant' for some time as it attracts bids from international buyers
Set in 'a real slice of heaven', Ballintim Lodge is a private resort-style lodge on 8 acres in the Wexford countryside, and comprises of six bedrooms and five bathrooms. Speaking after the sale, Jack Quinn of Quinn Property said it was a 'real honour' to handle the sale of this property. 'We were dealing with enquiries from everywhere, be it the United States, Europe, the UK. "We'd lots of interested parties, it was ultimately bought by an Irish family. It's a magical property and it was a real honour to be instructed with handling the sale. I'm delighted that at the end of the process we had a very happy client and a very excited new owner which always makes it a bit sweeter,' said Jack. The property has been bought by an Irish family as their permanent residence. 'We can't determine who's going to buy it or what they're going to buy it for but it's great to see someone will be there permanently and get to enjoy Ballintim throughout the year,' said Jack. Deemed 'one of the most significant sales in County Wexford in some time', it sold at a price in the region of its original asking price of €1.25million. "We were very happy with the price achieved, we had a number of different bidders. Some were Irish based and some of the other bidders were overseas so it was interesting to see the depth of demand for that property from a range of buyer types and indeed locations,' said Jack. It's no wonder the property garnered so much attention, as every detail from the layout to the décor elements has been carefully considered and curated by award winning architect Lindsey Johnson. The home extends over two levels to 585m² and has three connecting wings. It boasts many unique features such as a central atrium with an overhead walkway, artwork and décor elements such as a bespoke mosaic by the renowned Laura O`Hagan, large windows, patio/terrace areas and two separate kitchens. "It's a most unique property. A lot of properties share a lot of similarities, but Ballintim Lodge is truly a one-off unique property. Unique is perhaps a word that is overused in real estate and property circles but this is genuinely a truly one-off property and a real gem,' said Jack. Eight acres of mature grounds surround the house, with woodland walks and a Christmas tree forest included. The gardens were inspired by the Royal Horticultural Society / Chelsea Flower Show and designed by the famous Irish garden designer, Ralph Wickham. Other notable features include a walled fruit and vegetable garden with raised beds, a maze at the end of the avenue, a potting shed/glasshouse and a 90m² garage with two electric roller doors that could accommodate four to five cars. ADVERTISEMENT "It's a stunning setting, every viewing I had there was a real pleasure, it would really take you away from your working day and whatever was happening. It's almost a different world and at the same time it's so close to the village of Camolin that has so many nice amenities and has gone from strength to strength over the last few years,' said Jack.

Meanwhile, the same auctioneer has been successfully other farms in May. On May 2, shortly before a 51.7-acre farm at Williamstown, Rathvilly, Co Carlow, was due to go under the hammer online, a deal was struck between purchaser and vendor. Although Mr Quinn is duty-bound not to reveal the price achieved, he did say that it was 'in excess of the priced guide of €10,000-€12,000/acre".
