SOLD MAY 2026 – Valuable C. 15.5 Acre Holding With Derelict Farmhouse For Sale By Online Auction On Tuesday, 26th May At 2pm (In One Lot)

Today’s auction saw a well-located c. 15.5 acre holding together with old farmhouse come to the market. The lands are situated to the rear of the derelict farmhouse and are comprised in a single, well-defined division. Currently laid out in grass, the lands are of good agricultural quality and suitable for any agricultural activities. There is a two-storey farmhouse situated on the property which is in need of extensive renovation and modernization, this characterful farmhouse offers exceptional scope for restoration or a bespoke residence. There are a range of derelict stone outbuildings, again offering potential for various uses. The full property listing can be viewed here.

Auctioneer David Quinn had guided the property between €150,000 and €200,000 and added that “there was an encouraging amount of interest in the weeks leading up to the auction”. Mr Quinn stated that six parties were registered to bid.

On the day of the auction, bidding commenced at €130,000 and briskly moved as far as €200,000 with activity from three bidders. A fourth bidder then entered the auction bringing the property to €210,000. Following a short break to take client instructions, the property was declared to be “on the market” which prompted a flurry of rapid bidding. Ultimately, the hammer fell at €228,000 (€14,700 per acre), an excellent result.

Speaking directly after the successful auction, Mr Quinn stated that his client was “delighted with the result achieved” and added that the purchaser is a local farming family who had rented the lands for the past fifty-one years.
