A regularly-updated, source-cited snapshot of Irish land values. Aggregated from published reports — no first-hand valuations claimed.
The figures on this page are drawn from publicly-available Irish land market reports. We aggregate, we don't originate. Primary sources we rely on:
Average agricultural land in Ireland traded at approximately €13,000–€14,000 per acre in the most recent full reporting cycle, per the Daft.ie Land Report. Prices were broadly stable or modestly up year-on-year, with significant regional variation.
Indicative ranges from Daft.ie Land Report and SCSI/Teagasc review. Check source reports for exact latest figures.
| Region | Typical range (€/acre) | Characterising market |
|---|---|---|
| Munster dairy counties | €15,000 – €25,000+ | Strong local demand, expansion-led |
| East & South tillage | €12,000 – €20,000 | Arable premium, deep-pocketed buyers |
| Midlands | €9,000 – €14,000 | Mixed demand, drystock to dairy |
| West & North-West | €4,000 – €9,000 | Rough grazing to moderate farmland |
| Upland / hill ground | €2,000 – €5,000 | Forestry, rewilding, sporting |
Broad bands only. Specific farms vary enormously by quality, block shape, and buyer type.
The gap between prime dairy farmland and the national average has grown over the past decade, driven by expansion demand post-quota abolition and sector consolidation. We expect continued divergence rather than reversion.
Higher afforestation premiums under the 2023–2027 programme have lifted interest in marginal land suitable for planting. Where the maths works, this has firmed prices for otherwise-overlooked rough ground.
Zoned urban-edge development land has seen more cautious pricing after the post-2020 spike, particularly for larger residential sites where infrastructure and planning timelines have extended.
Farms actively enrolled in ACRES with long remaining contract periods often command a modest premium over equivalent non-enrolled land, reflecting the embedded income stream.
We revise this page whenever a major source (Daft Land Report, SCSI/Teagasc review, CSO data) publishes new data — typically twice a year. Last reviewed: Q1 2026.
