In this week’s property segment, we take a look at two farms, one in Offaly, and one in Laois, that are set for sale by online auction in Ireland in July and August 2023.
A circa 102-acre traditional agricultural holding, with an AMV (advised minimum value) of €900,000, in Doon, Ballinahown, Co. Offaly is set to come under the hammer in a public action later this month.
The listing, which is being handled by Murtagh Bros Auctioneers, consists of a derelict two-storey residence and a farmyard with “extensive” outbuildings.
The lands, according to a spokesperson for the selling agents, are all under grass of “good quality”, laid out in “neat, tidy” divisions and offer “excellent” potential.
The farm’s BISS entitlements, the spokesperson noted, have a net unit value of €115.99.
The auction will take place on Friday, July 21st, 2023, at 3 pm in conjunction with LSL Auctions.
The property firm urges interested parties to register for the online auction before this Friday, July 14th, 2023 and a €50,000 deposit is required.
