In a busy schedule of online auctions, Gorey-based auctioneers Quinn Property will be putting their next farm up for public auction next Wednesday, May 28.
The property for sale is a 35-acre holding at Knockgreany, near Gorey.
“The lands are adjacent to Coolgreany, a picturesque village in North Wexford,” says selling agent David Quinn.
The property is 3km from the N11 and convenient to towns such as Gorey and Arklow. With extensive road frontage and a natural watercourse, these are excellent lands that have been reseeded to grass after a long period in tillage.
The farm is guiding €15,000 to €20,000/acre and is offered in the following lots:
- Lot 1 — 4.35 acres of land with possible planning potential;
- Lot 2 — 30.35 acres of land;
- Lot 3 — the entire holding.
Meanwhile, the same auctioneer has been successfully other farms in May.
On May 2, shortly before a 51.7-acre farm at Williamstown, Rathvilly, Co Carlow, was due to go under the hammer online, a deal was struck between purchaser and vendor.
Although Mr Quinn is duty-bound not to reveal the price achieved, he did say that it was “in excess of the priced guide of €10,000-€12,000/acre".
On May 14, a 50-acre farm was sold at a combined online/live auction at the Riverside Park Hotel in Enniscorthy.
Acre House contained a farmyard and two-storey home. Although it was offered in lots, there was stronger demand for the entire holding — which sold for €1,200,000 (€22,500/acre).
