€12k/acre expected at auction of Déise holding
The 26-acre farm due for auction at Knocknavinnia, Ballymacarbry, Co. Waterford.
Coming up for public auction on April 28 at the Clonmel offices of P.F. Quirke & Co. is a 26-acre piece of land near Ballymacarbry in Co. Waterford.
Although this area might be known for its hill farms, this is a choice piece of land for the most part, according to the selling agent Pat Quirke.
Moreover, he points out, this is a corner of the Déise where land parcels have been very rare of late.
“It’s elevated land and it’s more mountain than it is lowland but it’s level land on a plateau, so to speak,” says Pat.
“The quality of the land is good and you can see that clearly in evidence in all the surrounding land in the photos. It’s all well cared for and well tended.”
So far, there has been a good level of interest in the property in terms of enquiries being made, but as with all auctions, one can only tell how strong the interest is when it comes down to the auction date itself.
“I think that most interest will be local,” says Pat.
“There are a good few dairy farmers, as well as sheep and beef farmers in the locality… land in that area doesn’t come up too often.”
The price expectation is around €12,000/acre.
