‘€10-€12k an acre sought for quality 25-acre Wexford grass holding’. Irish Examiner. 31/01/24.

A 25-acre holding in South Wexford is new to the market with Gorey-based auctioneers QUINN PROPERTY, and with a price guide of €10,000-€12,000 per acre, it should prove a tempting piece of ground for a wide range of suitors.

The land parcel is described by auctioneer David Quinn as being in grass at present and with no waste.

“The land is accessed over a hardcore laneway, situated 300m from the public road… it’s currently laid out in three fields and has the benefit of a natural water supply.”

Although the holding will be of interest to a number of dairy, cattle or tillage farmers in the area, there is a solar farm right next door and this precedent could be favourable one for someone thinking of using the land for solar power generation.

The main N25 from Wexford to Rosslare Harbour is nearby. Rosslare Harbour and strand are approximately 6km away and Tagoat village is 1.5km, with a good range of amenities including primary school and shops. 

Wexford town is 13km from the land, while the proximity of the N11/M11 network means Dublin is less than two hours away.
