The default platform for most Irish land buyers. What it does well, where it falls short, and who it suits.
Daft.ie is where most Irish land starts its life as a public listing. If a field goes up for sale through a mainstream auctioneer, it almost always appears on Daft. Their land section — distinct from residential — lets you filter by size, price, county and sub-category (farmland, site, forestry, land & buildings). Saved-search email alerts are free and reliable.
Almost any Irish land buyer should have a Daft.ie saved search set up — it's the base layer of any serious land watch. Particularly good for farmland and smallholdings. Less specialised for forestry (where dedicated forestry agents often deal privately) and less polished than MyHome for serviced residential sites.
Published annually, the Daft.ie Land Report — authored by TCD economist Ronan Lyons — is the single most-referenced piece of public data on Irish agricultural land prices. It covers county-level averages, year-on-year changes, and trends in transaction volumes. We cite it regularly on our market insights page.
For most readers, Daft.ie is the non-negotiable starting point. Start a free saved search today and you'll see most of what comes to market across the country without lifting a finger. Pair it with one or two of the specialist platforms — and the Irish Farmers Journal classifieds if farmland is your focus — and you have the Irish land market covered.
