€20k/acre expected at auction of 19-acre Wexford holding

The property enjoys excellent road frontage onto the R772.
Coming up for online public auction at the end of next week on Friday, August 8, is an 18.66-acre tillage holding just outside Ferns, County Wexford.
Selling agent David Quinn of Gorey-based auctioneers Quinn Property expects good interest in this convenient parcel which is a five-minute drive from the M11.
“The lands are of excellent quality and are set out in two fields,” says David. “They have free-draining soil and are suited to most agricultural activities and enterprises.”
The property enjoys excellent road frontage onto the R772. Ferns is 1.5km away and the GAA’s Centre of Excellence is next door. Enniscorthy is 10km away and Gorey is 18km.
“It’s a property with excellent visibility and accessibility,” adds David.
At the auction, the holding will be offered in two lots; the fields forming one lot each. Lot 1 consists of 9.9 acres and Lot 2 consists of 8.9 acres of land.
Quality and conveniently sized land parcels such as this one tend to attract good offers, from farmers and non-farmers. The inclusion of a derelict house on Lot 1 should also ensure stronger interest. The price guide is €20,000/acre.
