Waterford, Louth and Dublin usually have the lowest supply to the market each year and 2017 proved no different. With this in mind, it is unusual for a spate of smaller farms in Dublin to come to the market all at once. Offering these three holdings is John Cumisky of REA Cumisky, Dublin. The farms range from 12 acres to the largest at 46 acres, with the auctions taking place from 16 October to 18 October.

27 acres at Baldrumman

This holding is located near Lusk. Also offered in a single lot, it’s top-class tillage ground. It contains two access points and road frontage, which will certainly add to the expectation of sale. According to Cumisky, it would be ideal for either a farmer, or a businessman looking to open a garden or equestrian centre. The guide is for between €12,000/ac and €15,000/ac. It will be auctioned on 17 October at the Bracken Court Hotel in Ballbriggan at 4pm.
