A substantial non-residential dairy farm in Co Wexford has recently come on the market and will go for online auction in early March.

Located at Monagreana, Monamolin, the 137ac dairy holding with a good selection of farm buildings is on the books of Quinn Property and has a guide price of €15,000/ac.

Currently all in grass, the land is of excellent quality and has been farmed to a high standard. It’s all in one block and divided into 13 large fields via a series of mature hedgerows. These are further split into paddocks, all of which have a piped water supply. A network of internal farm roadways – extending to well in excess of 1km – allow easy access to livestock and machinery from the yard.

Cow accommodation

A short driveway leads from the public road to a yard that has ample cow accommodation with a number of cubicle houses present.

Included in the yard are a six-bay shed with 68 cubicle spaces and a double slurry tank, a six-bay cubicle shed with automatic scrapers, a range of calving boxes and a three-bay A-roof calf rearing house. Further accommodation is available in the form of a four-bay slatted shed with feed passage.

There are a pair of open silage pits and a three-bay round roof shed with silage walls that has a lean-to on either side. The milking parlour is a 10-unit and comes with a roofed and slatted collecting yard.

The 10-unit milking parlour has Orby feeders.

A three-bay double sided slatted shed is the main structure in the yard.

This property is available in its entire or in three lots. Lot 1 contains 65.6ac and the outbuildings, Lot 2 extends to 49.2ac while the balance of the land, 21.8ac is included in Lot 3.

Located just 3km from the village of Monamolin, this farm is also 5km from Boolavogue while the R471 road between Gorey and Wexford town is a similar distance away. If that wasn’t enough connectivity, the N11 can be accessed at Camolin, 7km away.

That puts it within a 20 minutes’ drive radius of a lot of agricultural activity in a noted farming county and there’s every likelihood it will continue in dairy production. It has the infrastructure to do so. Good slurry storage, a functional yard with good cow accommodation and the fact it’s all in one block could easily see it be used as an outside unit for an existing dairy farm.

There’s likely to be many interested spectators when this prime grassland farm goes under the hammer.

The auction takes place at noon on Tuesday, 4 March 2025 on the LSL Auctions online platform.
