Athy is proving a lucky stomping ground for Newbridge Auctioneer Paddy Jordan who successfully sold 55 acres on Thursday last for just over €12,500 per acre which had been guided at €10,000 per acre. An Executor sale, comprising 55 acres with a separate farmhouse was located in Kilrush just off the Kilcullen/Athy Road (N78) about 5km from Athy.
The land was in
7 good sized divisions, all in grass with an old farmyard comprising a number
of haysheds and 2 silage pits. This lot opened with an initial bid of €300,000 with
3 to 4 bidders and placed on the market at €600,000 with two bidders fighting
it out before the hammer dropped at €690,000. The purchaser is believed to be a
local farmer.
Lot 2 comprised
the farmhouse on just over ½ acre which was in need of extensive renovation.
There were two bidders for this lot which sold for €70,000 to a Solicitor
acting in trust on behalf of a client.
