Land available for leasing in the east and northeast has become increasingly scarce in recent seasons, yet demand across all farming sectors remains firm. Auctioneer, Stephen Barry of Raymond Potterton Auctioneers has reported a noticeable tightening in supply of sizeable parcels.
“There’s fewer holdings coming forward this year despite steady interest from expanding operators. While weather conditions may be a contributing factor, overall availability across the region remains limited, particularly for well-located farms offering workable scale and secure medium-term lease terms.”
Against that backdrop, the Navan-based auctioneering firm has a substantial 160ac holding at Rathaldron, Navan, Co Meath new to the leasing market. Available for conacre, it’s guided at €350/ac.
The land comprises of a mix of tillage and permanent pasture and is positioned just outside Navan town in one of the county’s most productive agricultural districts. Strong road connectivity, including proximity to the M3 motorway, enhances accessibility for machinery and transport. Ground of this quality and scale in the Navan hinterland rarely becomes available for lease.
The Navan-based auctioneers also have a 40ac holding near Dunshauglin available for lease.
“Although tillage margins are described as weaker at present, demand for workable land has not eased, with operators continuing to compete especially to secure five-year agreements,” Stephen adds.
One such farm that fits that bill and that is presently available on their books is a 40ac parcel at Hallstown, Dunshaughlin.
Offered on a five-year lease and guided at a similar rate to the holding at Rathaldron, this land is laid out in workable divisions and located within easy reach of Dunshaughlin and Ratoath.
Its position within commuting distance of Dublin adds to its practical appeal, particularly for farmers operating in a tightly supplied leasing market.
Parcels of this size in the immediate hinterland of Dunshaughlin are seldom offered, and demand is expected to reflect that scarcity.
