Jordan Auctioneers successfully sold 28 acres
of land in two lots by Public Auction on Tuesday last for a combined total of €338,500
equating to just over €12,000 per acre. Before a small attendance of about 12
local based buyers the property was offered for sale in two lots:
Lot 1 comprised c.24
acres all in grass. This opened with an initial offer of €200k with 2 active
buyers bidding all the way until the hammer dropped at €262,500 to a local
based purchaser.
Lot 2: comprised c.4 acres which was
opposite Lot 1 and an ideal site for a house subject to the obtaining Planning
Permission. This opened with an initial bid of €40,000 with 3 active buyers
before being sold for €76,000 to another local based party.
Speaking after the Auction Clive Kavanagh of
the selling agents said ‘that there had been good interest in both lots from
the outset but that the majority of this was local based and a reflection of
the increased difficulties obtaining planning permission in County Kildare for
one – off houses unless a clear connection to the area is established’.
