An attractive 30-acre parcel complete with farmyard has just arrived on the market at Munny, Carnew, Co Wicklow.

Just five minutes’ drive from Carnew and Askamore, this compact holding is likely to draw attention from local and neighbouring farmers and even perhaps young entrants to farming who are eager to acquire a nice parcel of land with outbuildings.

Set out on one block, the land is currently under tillage and grass and is bounded on one side by the River Mine. To add to the package is a useful range of farm buildings. These include a five-bay haybarn with concrete floor, a five-bay slatted shed with feeding passage, silage pit, collecting yard and a storage shed. The yard has its own access off the road via a lane, while the land has its own road frontage. Water is supplied from a mains line but there is a never-failing natural spring which could be used to service the land.

For sale by auction on 16 April next in the sales room of Warren Estates, Gorey, at 3pm, the property will be offered in one lot only by auctioneer Denis Howell. The guide is €12,000/acre or €360,000.
