'Quality' 78-acre grassland farm for sale in Wexford

Holding offered in two lots of 62.25 acres and 16 acres in prime agriculture area

Farm just outside Oilgate village is 8km south of Enniscorthy and 15km from Wexford town.

Located between Enniscorthy and Wexford town, to the east of the River Slaney, a 78-acre farm in two separate lots is currently for sale with Wexford town-based Keane Auctioneers.

“It’s a really good piece of land,” said selling agent John Keane of the property, which is located in the townland of Ryane, about 8km south of Enniscorthy and 15km from Wexford town. “It’s just outside Oilgate village and convenient to Wexford, Enniscorthy and Gorey — very well located.”

The property is presented in two lots, which are a short distance from one another:

• Lot 1 consists of 62.25 acres of land. It has top-quality multi-purpose soil and is laid out in seven divisions. According to the agents, it is nicely fenced with a mixture of post and rail fencing and natural hedging and also has a seven-span shed.
• Lot 2 is a 16-acre land parcel in four divisions.

“I’ve a good level of interest in it so far,” said Mr Keane, who added the area had a good spread of different active agricultural sectors. 

“There’d be dairy farmers around the area, as well as cereal crop producers and a number of stud farms. So the grass production here would be really top-class.

“It’s nice to be able to offer the choice of either 62 acres or 16 acres,” added Mr Keane, who said no entitlements were included with the holding.

The given price guide of €12,000/ acre reflects the quality of this well-located holding, which interests a wide variety of people.
