A 46.2ac non-residential farm in Co Wicklow heads for public auction in December. Situated at Ballycapple, Redcross it is described as a top-quality grassland holding with a sloping topography.

An executor sale, it’s in one block and laid out in four fields with mature trees and hedgerows forming the boundaries between them.

Almost half of the land is in one large field with the balance largely divided equally into three smaller similar sized fields. Fenced and well drained, the land would make an excellent addition to an existing farm.

Served by a very good road network, it has an access point onto the R754 road and it’s almost a halfway point between the villages of Barndarrig and Redcross being less than five minutes’ drive from both.

The land is also a short distance from the N11 road. With that road network serving it, this property could be a good out-farm for any farmer wishing to extend their land base in the region.

Currently leased out for an annual rent of €8,500, there are four years remaining on the lease. Good land in this part of the Garden County has been making in the region of €15,000/ac so expect this farm to end up making similar money

The auction takes place at 3pm on Wednesday, 11 December in the Arklow Bay Hotel.
