58-acre South Wicklow farm snapped up pre-auction
The property is in grass with parts of rough grazing and suitable for a number of agricultural uses, with easily accessible fields ideal for grazing or tillage.
A 58-acre holding in South Wicklow, featured here on May 28, was due for online public auction on Wednesday June 18, but it was sold beforehand.
Located just 1.7km from the village of Knockananna and 11km from Tinahely, the holding was close to the border with Carlow and Wexford, with a public road running through it.
The farm was due to be offered in four lots, with David Quinn of Gorey-based auctioneers Quinn Property, describing it as a “valuable parcel of land” which enjoyed “an excellent location along the L2004”.
The property is in grass with parts of rough grazing and suitable for a number of agricultural uses, with easily accessible fields ideal for grazing or tillage.
Prior to the auction, the farm was guiding in the region of €350,000 (€6,000/acre). With such substantial acreage as this, it is unsurprising that the interest pre-auction would be significant.
“There was a nice bit of interest in the property,” Mr Quinn said afterwards, without disclosing what the final price agreed was. He did say, however, it was in excess of the guide price.
