Kildare holding fetches almost €42k/acre at auction

The auctioneer said: 'The result underscores the continued strength of the land market in well-located areas.'

The 41-acre farm had a pre-auction guide of €900,000 (€22,000/acre) which was eclipsed by a large margin.

Last featured here on April 14, a 41-acre farm at Blackchurch in the Kildare commuter belt was successfully sold at auction on Friday, April 24, at the Keadeen Hotel in Newbridge.

Described by Clive Kavanagh of Jordan Auctioneers as “an attractive holding of arable land”, the quality holding extends across the townlands of Blackchurch and Tuckmilltown, laid out in a practical and well-defined configuration.
