The M7 motorway (junction 16) is less than a 15-minute drive and the M50 is a 50-minute drive from the property which is located at Woodlands, Timogue.
“The entire comprises about 31.5ac of top-quality land. There is extensive frontage onto the Timahoe Road (0.5km) and also a local road which leads to Carlow,” said Clive Kavanagh of Jordan Auctioneers.

The Stradbally land, the selling agent said, is suitable for a wide range of uses and has been tilled in the past with several of the lots having site potential.
“Lot 1, circa 17ac, has extensive frontage onto the Timahoe Road of over 0.5km and the eastern boundary running along the Timogue River with over 400m frontage,” Kavanagh continued.
