41.5-acre holding ‘farmed to high standard’ set for auction

For sale through Quinn Property by online auction next month is a “valuable” circa 41.5-acre roadside holding in Co Wexford.

The property, located in Killabeg, Scarawalsh, Enniscorthy, will go under the hammer at 3 pm on Friday, July 2nd, in one or two lots.

According to the selling agent, the farm has good frontage onto the public road with two access points. The farm is laid out in three divisions, currently in a mixture of tillage and grassland with c. 5.5-acres of mature forestry.

“The lands are generally free draining and suitable for most agricultural enterprises. It has the benefit of natural water from the Bann River as well as having a cattle crush and handling facilities. The holding is being farmed to a high standard and is in good heart.”
