The biggest block comprises the farmyard on 93.4 acres (in tillage and grassland) which has frontage to two roads as well as a short internal farm roadway. The yard comes with a range of farm buildings that include a four-bay hayshed with dual lean-tos, four-bay machinery shed, cattle crush, pen, silage slab as well as an old-style lofted courtyard.

Directly across the road is Kilbegnet House on 29.7 acres. Not lived in for over 40 years, the residence features a total of 14 rooms over two storeys and offers a challenging but rewarding restoration project.

Co Wexford
The €8,000 to €10,000/acre guide price for a 46.3-acre non-residential parcel of land situated at Askinch, Coolgreany, Gorey, Co Wexford, certainly doesn’t appear over the top. The property, which is for sale through David Quinn, Carnew and Gorey, is laid out in just two fields, 30 acres and 16 acres, respectively, and has been recently sown to spring cereals. The owner used to graze sheep on the land but in recent years it has been used for tillage. Described as “excellent quality”, the land is without waste and given its elevation, has expansive views that extend to Brittas Bay and across to Tara Hill.
Accessed from a shared laneway and from a right of way, the land is for sale in one lot only on 16 May at 3pm in the agent’s Gorey office. Situated 7.5 miles from Gorey and five miles from Arklow, local dairy and drystock interest is expected. There are no entitlements or buildings on the land.
