Forty-acre Wicklow farm exceeds €26k an acre at auction

Gorey-based auctioneers Quinn Property said the auction, and the results of recent auctions, point to a remarkably strong market for land and country homes in the southeast.

Lot 2, the house and outbuildings, sold for €220k; €40k above the guide price.

Another successful online auction took place on Wednesday of last week with Gorey-based auctioneers Quinn Property.

The holding was a 40.5-acre farm in the townland of Johnstown, near Arklow, County Wicklow. It was sold along with an adjacent second lot, which consists of a house with outbuildings on 0.5acres.
