Jordan Auctioneers, Newbridge
successfully sold 34 acres by Public Auction on Wednesday last, in two lots.
The land which was situated
approximately 2 km from Ballymore Eustace, just off the N81 was all top quality
laid out in 6 divisions all in permanent pasture with great shelter and water
laid on.
The first lot offered for sale was 5.5
acres which had site potential. This opened with an initial bid of €50,000 with
three bidders up to €86,000 at which point Auctioneer Paddy Jordan put the land
on the market. Two bidders fought it out until the hammer fell at €118,000 to a
couple hoping to construct a house at a future date on the lands.
Lot 2 comprised 29 acres and a farmyard.
This lot opened with an initial bid of €200,000 with two parties interested up
to €260,000 at which point this lot was withdrawn from the market and Paddy
Jordan successfully negotiated a sale afterwards for an undisclosed sum.
