A 21.5ac parcel of land at Dowdenstown Great, Ballymore Eustace, Co Kildare comes to auction with an added attraction that sets it apart from a standard block.

On the books of Coonan Property, the holding sits alongside a disused quarry and is understood to contain sand and gravel deposits, which may draw a different type of interest alongside the usual farming or equestrian use.

That sits behind what is otherwise a straightforward piece of ground, currently in grass and laid out with frontage on to two local roads, making access simple and leaving options open around how it could be used or divided.

The location adds to it. Positioned between Naas and Ballymore Eustace, the land sits within easy reach of the M7, while Sallins provides rail links and other nearby towns such as Blessington, Co Wicklow offer everyday services. While it is not a large holding, it is well placed and easy to get at. In practical terms, it will likely be the combination of position and the potential that shapes interest, rather than the current use of the land alone.

The property goes under the hammer on 13 May at 3pm in Lawlor’s Hotel, Naas, guiding at €20,000-€25,000/ac.
