‘Farmer’s farm’ in Johnstownbridge

Staying in Kildare but heading further west, a non-residential 40ac grass holding is on the market near Johnstownbridge village. The property is guided at €12,500/ac and will be auctioned online by Enfield auctioneer Ed Carey.

As it stands it would make an ideal out-farm, and also has medium to long-term development potential.

Located 40kms west of Dublin, the holding is a short drive from the M4 Junction 9 at Enfield.

Currently in grass, the land has been very well farmed by the current owners and is laid out in a number of evenly sized, professionally fenced paddocks, with a ready water supply to each. 

Mr Carey says it would suit almost any farming enterprise and, subject to planning permission, could be converted to a residential holding.

While the property has limited road frontage through its own entrance, it is only 300m from the current development boundary.

It be sold at on-line auction on the Offr.io platform on Wednesday, May 5 at 2.30pm. Advance registration is required.
