A large agricultural holding whose location offers tangible hope value for development is on offer with Waterford-based auctioneers Purcell Properties.

The farm in question is a 78-acre property at Bishopscourt, Grantstown, hugging the edges of Waterford City.

As selling agent Des Purcell points out, this land isn’t zoned. With agri-land values rising all the time, however, and with the proximity to one of Munster’s major cities, there is plenty of scope for its value.

The property is available in lots (31.8 acres in Lot 1 and 46.3 acres in Lot 2) or the entire. 

On Lot 1, there is a 2-storey 4-bedroom residence and outbuildings including a 3-span hay-shed.

The property is all in grass and has been carefully farmed through the years.

“It was farmed by the late Oliver Flynn, who lived there all his life,” says Des. 

“There’s a decent 2-storey-farmhouse on the land… It has good road frontage on both divisions.”

Ballygunner GAA Club (current All-Ireland Champions) have their pitches adjoining the farm, which is approximately 4km from Waterford City Centre.

The price guide of Lot 1 is €1,250,000 (€39,000/acre), while Lot 2 is guiding €925,000 (€20,000/acre).
