As October continues to see strong auction room activity, two land-only smallholdings feature next in the lineup.

On Friday 16 October at 3pm, Thomas Potterton will bring a 19ac parcel at Ballyonan, Broadford, Co Kildare under the hammer.

Well-managed and in very good heart, the land is laid out in three divisions of permanent pasture, which may also be suited to tillage. Fronting a hardcore cul-de-sac near a main road, the farm also presents the possibility of site potential, subject to planning.

The 19ac parcel of land at Broadford, Co Kildare, is in very good condition and may be suited to tillage.

Located less than 10 minutes from Enfield, Co Meath, and Kinnegad, Co Westmeath, the farm benefits from convenient access to all key services and facilities.

Guided in the region of €250,000 for the entire, the parcel will also be offered in two lots: Lot 1, an 11ac parcel, and Lot 2, the adjoining 8ac.

Suited to a residential hobby farm or as an expansion block, the holding will be auctioned at the REA TE Potterton Property Exchange, Trim, Co Meath, with online bidding available via LSL.

The following week at 3pm on Friday 23 October at the Rhu Glenn Hotel, Slieverue, Co Kilkenny, a 23ac block of land in Shanbogh Upper, New Ross, Co Kilkenny is set to be auctioned.

Set out in four large fields divided by mature hedgerow boundaries, the land is in permanent pasture and benefits from good road frontage. Situated along the Co Kilkenny border, the holding is five minutes from the town of New Ross, Co Wexford, and has close access to the N25 national road, putting it within easy reach of a wide range of amenities and services.

Listed with PN O’Gorman auctioneers, the farm is guided in the region of €16,000/ac and is expected to attract local dairy farmers looking to expand, with its location and accessibility adding to its appeal.
