Three small parcels set to go to auction in Wicklow

FORMER development land looks set to be a constant feature of the land market for some time to come.

Three smaller parcels of ground adjacent to sizeable towns in Kildare and Wicklow are due for auction on the instructions of the receiver on Thursday, February 13.

A parcel of 21ac at Kilmalum Road on the Kildare side of Blessington will be sold in two lots of 5.83ac and 15.27ac respectively.

A 0.9ac portion of the smaller section is zoned for development, while the rest of the ground would be regarded as decent agricultural grassland.

The 15.27ac, situated 2km from Blessington town centre, is laid out in two fields and comes with substantial road frontage.

EXCELLENT

Not far away at Ballymore Eustace, Co Kildare, 18.26ac located immediately behind the main street of the village and with good road frontage is due for auction on the same day.

The land, which is all in grass and in five divisions, is described by Mr O’Driscoll as excellent quality agricultural land and comes with a guide price of €10,000/ac.

A 13.5ac portion of ground with 400m of road frontage on to three roads and an old farmyard at Baltinglass, Co Wicklow will also be offered for auction on the same day.
