The auction was held online because of lockdown restrictions.
Auctioneer Eamon O’ Flaherty of Sherry FitzGerald Brady O’Flaherty, who conducted the auction, said that there had been significant interest in the farm before the auction and that five individuals registered to bid.
SHARING OPTIONS:
The farm close to Prosperous, Co Kildare,
and will go for auction on 26 February 2021.
On the books of joint selling agents Sherry FitzGerald Brady O’Flaherty and Sherry FitzGerald Reilly, this farm is conveniently set in one block
It is currently under high-quality permanent pasture, but could be suitable for any agricultural or equine use.
The farm is laid out in six large fields which are free draining and there is also roughly 300m of road frontage onto a local road.
Farmed to a high standard, it is well fenced. In an era where biodiversity on farms is gaining prominence the mature boundary hedging with a selection of mature trees can be viewed as a more positive asset as perhaps they may have been in the past.

A Kildare county councillor has questioned the sale for €100,000 of a key land site of less than an acre in Athgarvan.
At the Kildare County Council plenary meeting on November 30, while the council agreed to the recommendation to sell the land to Robert Doyle of Athgarvan, Cllr Fiona McLoughlin Healy argued its price could have been much higher and questioned the valuation process.
She said that if a private developer owned the land, the price would not be so low. She also said a number of different valuations should have been obtained.
