A 68ac farm in Co Kilkenny has been attracting strong interest from both near and far since it came on the market recently.

For sale by public auction, the non-residential grassland holding at Coolroe, Graiguenamanagh, Co Kilkenny is in one block and is divided by hedgerows into 13 different fields, all of which are in grass.

There is neither a yard or animal handling facilities included but a grazing platform such as this would appeal to many farmers looking to increase their land base.

Situated a little over 2km from Graiguenamanagh village, it’s well located in an agricultural hotbed in the south east of the country. It’s 20 minutes’ drive from New Ross while the cities of Kilkenny and Waterford are 29km and 43km away respectively.

Regarding this property, Auctioneer, John Fogarty from Re/Max Property Specialists says: “Interest has been extremely positive since it went on the market.

“That’s from locals but as with larger holdings the radius stretches as bigger blocks appeal to more farmers.

“We’ve also had enquiries from ex-pats with local connections who are looking to purchase an Irish property. I’ve fielded calls from as far away as the United States and Australia about this farm already.”

Land in the general area has been making in the region of €15,000/ac so expect this to perform around similar lines.

Unless it is sold previously, the auction will take place at 3pm on Friday 5 September in the Brandon House Hotel, Southknock, New Ross, Co Wexford.
