25-acre farm by Brittas Bay for auction after 65-acre Wexford farm fetches over €1.6m

Located on a road between the M11 and the coastline, the nearest beach to the 25-acre farm is 1km away.

Coming up for online public auction on Friday, June 21, is a 25-acre roadside holding at Ballytunny, Brittas, County Wicklow.

According to David Quinn of selling agents Quinn Property, it’s an excellently located quality holding.

“The lands are laid out in four divisions with good road frontage,” says David, “currently all in grass, with no waste.”

Located on a road between the M11 and the coastline, the nearest beach is 1km away. Brittas Bay is 2kms away and Arklow 7kms in a popular part of the world.

The selling agents say the land is all in grass.

David says that the site may also have potential for a residential property, subject to planning permission. Its guide price of €12,000/acre, therefore, seems very much achievable.

This will be the latest online auction in a continuing series of such sales, the latest of which took place on Friday, May 24.

St Austin’s at Coolgreany, Gorey, County Wexford, was a headline package containing “some of the finest quality lands in Ireland,” according to the selling agent. The Georgian property on 65 acres had a pre-auction guide price of between €1,800,000 and €2,000,000. 

The bidding opened at €1,400,000 before moving to €1,660,000 on the floor. With no further bids coming, it was withdrawn from auction. Negotiations with the highest bidder ensued immediately and it was sold for a higher sum.
