A goat farm for sale in Eure usually appeals to someone drawn to short supply chains: the department combines valley pasture, cropped plateaus and a very large consumer base, between Rouen, Évreux and a Paris region close at hand. Goat milk here is nearly always made into cheese on the farm and sold on site, at market or through boxes, since there is no local protected designation and no structured collection. The listings gathered here come from farmers selling their business, from agencies specialising in rural property and from notarial offices in Évreux, Bernay or Les Andelys; they state herd size, machinery and the land involved. They join the wider picture of goat farms for sale kept up to date on the site.
This page assembles what no listing supplies: the order of magnitude of local land values, the districts where a goat cheese farm comes free, the faults commonly found in older livestock buildings, and the checks specific to processing. The path to setting up is covered in our white paper « Créer une exploitation agricole » (in French).
Land weighs heavily on the budget for a goat farm. Transfers published by the French tax authorities (DVF, excluding vineyards) put the median for farmland in Eure (27) at €9,723/ha in 2025, with an average of €10,355/ha over 214 sales. Eight transactions in ten settle between €7,000 and €15,212/ha, where the national median is €5,307/ha.
A second reference, the SAFER land value benchmark, sets vacant land and pasture at €10,270/ha for 2025, +3.1% in a year and +14.7% over a decade; the French average is €6,460/ha, and a sitting tenant costs a plot roughly 17% of its value.
Leaving acreage aside, the value of such a property rests on a whole chain: animal housing, milking parlour and bulk tank, cheese room, drying room and ripening cellar, forage storage, fencing and water points on the grazing. The herd contributes through numbers, genetics and consistency of output. Goodwill then weighs very heavily here, where box schemes, producer shops and urban markets can account for most of the income of a dairy goat holding. Our land price observatory and financial calculators let you put figures on each of them.
Goat units in this department rarely occupy new structures: a former loose housing shed, a converted store, a long farmhouse turned into a goat shed. Check the soundness of the frame, the weather-tightness of the roof, ventilation in a volume that is often low, the floor and its ability to drain, and access for mechanised bedding. The parlour and washing area determine working hours, the milk room determines product quality. Where a dairy exists, its floor area, its layout and its refrigeration set how much milk can be processed without fresh investment, and so how far a buyer can grow.
On the herd, look at the number of milking does, the proportion of replacement kids, the kidding pattern and recording results. Alpine and Saanen animals form the base, sometimes supplemented with hardier stock used to keep slopes clear. Where the dwelling house is in the package, residential pressure linked to the nearness of Paris can push its value well above that of the production tool: ask for a separate appraisal, item by item.
The Neubourg plateau and the Norman Vexin, devoted to arable cropping, leave little room for grass and carry expensive land. The Pays d'Ouche, from Conches to Breteuil and Rugles, and the Lieuvin around Bernay and Thiberville keep hedged country, pasture and mid-sized farms: that is where goat projects concentrate. The Roumois and the Risle valley, from Pont-Audemer to Brionne, pair grassland with quick access to Rouen and Le Havre. The Eure and Seine valleys offer grazing, but on a tight property market.
Commercial reach follows the main roads: from the north and east of the department, farm produce reaches Rouen or the western edge of the Paris region within the day, which justifies a higher purchase price. Towards the south-west, a buyer gains in forage ground what will then have to be spent on building up outlets.
A goat unit quickly passes the threshold that brings it into the classified installations nomenclature, the French environmental permitting system: declaration, then registration for larger herds, with notice to the prefecture when the operator changes. Cheesemaking depends either on health approval or on the direct retail exemption, in both cases with a written food safety plan, traceability of batches and own-checks. Check effluent storage and whether the spreading plan matches the parcels actually handed over.
Legally, distinguish ownership from tenancy, obtain the landlord's agreement for leases to carry on, prepare the application for farming authorisation and anticipate a possible pre-emption by SAFER, the rural land agency, which is common where arable farmers are hunting for hectares. In the valleys, examine wetlands and water catchment perimeters that may restrict grazing. Lastly, make sure market pitches and direct-sale commitments really can be passed on.
