An impressive 206-acre farm located at Ballinamona and Newcastle, Newbawn, Co Wexford is coming up for public auction on 7 August after originally being offered through private treaty in 2018. The farm as an entire package doesn’t get any more comprehensive. The residence is a beautiful five-bed bungalow that is both modern and homely. The land is made up of the finest Wexford ground, while there is a plethora of farm buildings in an extensive yard area.

An active dairy farm, there is a 14-unit milking parlour that was only installed in 2014, which is in excellent condition.

The farm itself encompasses a total of 206 acres, currently presented in grass. Touring the farm, the paddocks are uniformly the same quality, with little or no waste across the land. It was obvious from the outset that the ground here is managed very well.

The large open paddocks are strip grazed and, given their size and the ample road frontage, they would be perfectly suited to a tillage enterprise. In reality, any enterprise could be facilitated here. The water supply is perfect and the fencing and hedgerows ensure it is livestock proof.

An extensive roadway network through the farm is well kept and ensures practicality for the farmer, as it leads all the way to the parlour and the yard area. All in one block, there are circa 20 large paddocks in total.
