Two blocks of land are coming up for auction in Co Wexford, courtesy of auctioneers Quinn Property.

Killabeg land

The first is 41.5ac at Killabeg, Scarawalsh which will be sold in an online auction on Friday 2 July. Killabeg is 3km north of Enniscorthy and 7km north of Ferns.

This is an area of good land and intensive farming, in a mix of grassland and tillage.

The Bann River runs along the edge of the land at Killabeg.

The land for sale has road frontage and two access gateways. It is in a mix of tillage and grass and includes 5.5ac of mature forestry. There is a cattle handling unit in the grass fields. The Bann River runs along the edge of the land providing a water supply.

The main Dublin to Rosslare rail line runs through the holding. Approximately 14ac of the land lies on one side of the track with the balance of 27ac on the other side. Safe access from one side to the other is provided for both vehicles and livestock by a full specification level crossing.

This land will be offered in three lots. Lot 1 will be 7ac, currently in tillage. Lot 2 will be 34ac, currently in a mix of tillage and grass. Lot 3 will be the entire.

The guide price is €400,000 to €450,000 for the entire or approximately €10,000/ac.

Ballinure farm with derelict house

A few days later, on Wednesday 7 July, the auctioneer will sell 19ac at Ballinure with a derelict farmhouse, outside Enniscorthy. Ballinure is 3km from Marshalstown, 5km from Ballindagging and 7km from Enniscorthy.

The 19ac at Ballinure is good land, currently under tillage.

The land for sale is situated 200m back from the public road, on a laneway. It is divided by this laneway with the farmhouse and yard standing on 0.5ac on one side and the 18.5ac on the other side. There is no frontage onto a public road, but it’s good land, currently in tillage.

This is one of the sheds on the 19ac at Ballinure, outside Marshalstown.

The single-storey farmhouse has been unoccupied and needs full restoration. There are a number of old sheds in the yard including a two-bay hayshed with lean-to.

The property will be offered in three lots. Lot 1 will be the derelict farmhouse and yard on 0.5ac. Lot 2 will be 18.5ac and Lot 3 will be the entire. The guide price is €35,000 for the farmhouse and yard on 0.5ac and €10,000/ac for the remaining land.
