A pair of non-residential holdings on the books of Raymond Potterton and situated in the northeast of the country head for auction next week.
First up is a 17.3ac roadside holding at Kilberry, Navan, Co Meath, that goes under the hammer at 3pm on Tuesday 25 November.
In the heart of one of Meath's most productive agricultural districts, the free-draining lands are of excellent quality and have been in continuous tillage production for many years, yielding consistently strong crops.
The farm at Kilberry is highly fertile tillage ground.
Laid out in one division, this has extensive frontage on two roads, one of which is the R163 which connects Kells and Slane.
With fertile land, typical of the area, it’s guided ahead of auction at €17,000/ac.
The land at Kilberry, Co Meath, fronts on to two roads. one of which is the R163. which connects Kells and Slane.
Heading north and into Co Cavan, the second property sells two days later at 3pm on Thursday 27 November.
The l29.4ac at Deredis Farnham. Co Cavan. sells at auction at the end of November.
Consisting of 29.4 acres of exceptionally well-kept agricultural land at Deredis, Farnham, Co Cavan, and less than five minutes’ drive from Cavan town, the land all in one block and is described as productive, free-draining pasture that has been recently reseeded.
Free-draining land overlooking Farnham Lough. It's in one block and has been reseeded recently.
It is accessed via a quiet laneway and the elevated site enjoys views over Farnham Lough.
There could potentially be an option to build a residence here and there was a successful planning permission in place, but this has since lapsed. It has a guide price of €15,000/ac.
Both auctions will take place in Raymond Potterton’s offices at 38 Watergate St, Townparks, Navan, and online on the LSL auctions platform.
Residential holding
While smaller blocks of farm land are in good demand, if there is a house present on the property it widens the appeal of said properties. This is certainly the case in areas where obtaining planning permission on greenfield sites is challenging.
The residential small holding near Ballinhassig, Co Cork, is for sale by private treaty.
One such property is presently on the books of DNG Galvin in Bandon, Co Cork. Located at Fahanalooscane, Cork, Ballinhassig, the derelict two-storey house on circa 18.5ac is within 2km of Riverstick and the R600 road that connects Kinsale with Cork city.
To the rear of the house and yard, there is 2.5ac of grassland.
The house is ripe for renovation and should qualify for the generous grants that are available for such projects.
Near the house, there’s a yard with a selection of outbuildings, including a round-roof hay shed with lean-to.
To the rear of the Ballinhassig property, there are a number of old farm outbuildings.
The house and yard are set on 2.5ac with the balance of the land (16ac) across the road from it.
Regarding the offering, auctioneer Majella Galvin said: “[There is] Good demand for those types of properties and the main reason is the fact there is an existing house there and that almost guarantees planning permissions.
"You have people who are interested in horses or maybe a hobby farm to grow some vegetables, a property like this would suit people from the city who are looking to move to the country or it may suit locals who might find it hard to get planning in the area. Because there’s so few properties like that out there, they’re in extra demand.”
For sale by private treaty, offers in excess of €520,000 are expected for this property.
