35-acre Wicklow forestry holding sells for in excess of guide before auction
Wicklow People
A c. 35.6-acre forestry holding in south Wicklow that had been guided at €220,000 sold for in excess of that price before it went to auction.
Located in Rosnastraw, 4km from Tinahely, the parcel of forestry land features extensive road frontage onto the R748, the property is currently growing a crop of mature timber, comprising mainly Sitka spruce and Scots pine and a small quantity of oak, with the Scots pine planted in 2000 and the remainder in 1994.
The sale of the property was handled by Quinn Property managing director David Quinn, who described 'solid interest' in the property, adding that most interest was local, but there was 'also some interest from a number of parties based in Dublin and north Wicklow'.
When asked about the ultimate sale price, Mr Quinn did not give an exact price but said that it was 'in excess of the guide'.
