€9,000-13,000 per acre paid in recent Tipperary auctions

Public auctions are continuing to produce impressive results in the Premier County, as evidenced by two auctions of farmland in South Tipperary over the last fortnight.

On June 17, Hayes Hotel in Thurles was the setting for a trend-setting auction of a 26-acre residential holding in the townland of Cloneyross, Ballycahill.

The farm — featured in these pages on June 2 — was offered in two lots: Lot 1 comprised the house, outbuildings, and 9.64 acres, while Lot 2 included 16 acres of grasslands with considerable road frontage.
