The selling agent remarked:
“The subject property was in an excellent location close to a range of surrounding towns and villages, including Robertstown 2.7km, Prosperous (4.5km), Caragh (6.6km), Clane (9.5km), Sallins (12.5km) & Naas (13km).
“The cottage itself was derelict but ideal for replacement subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission. The land was in four divisions, all in grass, with superb natural hedgerows and mature trees.”

The property firm offered the holding for sale in the following lots in conjunction with LSL Auctions:
- 29-acres;
- Circa .89-acres;
- The entire: C. 49-acres.
On the day of the auction, bidding on lot 1 began at €130,000 and, with the help of three bidders, climbed to €380,000.
Lot 2 peaked at €180,000 after activity from three bidders. However, bidders on the entire “had no issue” in surpassing the total of lots 1 and 2 (€510,000).
In fact, bidding on lot 3 “quickly reached” €570,000 and then €670,000 with two parties “battling it out”.
After two further bids, Quinn’s hammer fell at €690,000, equating to over €14,000 per acre.
David Quinn commented on the “extraordinary depth of demand for agricultural land in South Wexford and indeed across the region”.
There are several genuinely disappointed underbidders that will be eagerly awaiting the launch of similar properties,” he commented.
