Looking for a specialist crop farm for sale in France? This page brings together the lavender farms, olive groves, truffle orchards, hop farms, aromatic and medicinal herb holdings, saffron, tobacco, hemp and seed-growing farms currently offered by retiring growers, rural estate agencies and notaries across the country. Each listing states the planted area, the age of the plantation, the equipment (still, oil mill, drying room), irrigation and the outlets in place, so that you can compare offers before contacting the seller. It complements all the farms for sale in France on ma-propriete.fr. Beyond the listings, you will find the benchmarks buyers usually lack when taking over a niche crop: farmland prices region by region, the areas where each production is concentrated, what to check on the plantation, the contracts and the water supply, and the steps of a successful takeover. If you are planning to set up, our white paper « Créer une exploitation agricole » (in French) complements this page for anyone preparing a first installation.
Farmland prices for a specialist crop farm in 2025 : our statistics and the SAFER benchmark
On a specialist crop farm for sale in France, land counts twice over: the value of bare land is the starting point, but the plantation standing on it – truffle oaks in production, mature olive trees, lavandin in full vigour, a trellised hop yard – is often worth more than the soil. Knowing the regional land price lets you isolate the share of the asking price that pays for the plantation and the equipment.
Across France, 14,328 sales of agricultural land were recorded in 2025, at a median price of €5,307/ha (average €6,059/ha; 80% of transactions between €2,500 and €10,537/ha). The SAFER benchmark of land values puts vacant land and pasture at €6,460/ha (+0.9% year on year) and tenanted land at €5,350/ha (+2.5%), an average discount of around 17% where a tenant farmer is in place.

Specialist crops cluster in regions with sought-after farmland: Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur and the Drôme, in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, for lavender, olives and aromatic herbs, Nouvelle-Aquitaine and Occitanie for truffles, tobacco and seed production, Grand Est for hops. The table gives the price of the soil; the value of a truffle orchard, an olive grove or a distillery lies above all in the age of the trees, the yields, organic certification and the outlets already built. From one region to the next, the benchmark varies fourfold, from €2,740/ha in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté to €10,890/ha in Hauts-de-France. See the full analysis, department by department, on our agricultural land price observatory, estimate your plots with the land value tool, and work out notary fees and borrowing capacity with our financial calculators. * Fewer than 100 recorded sales: indicative value. n/a: no tenanted-land benchmark published for this region.
What makes a specialist crop farm for sale in France different
Plantations, still, oil mill and processing equipment
Here the plantation and the processing tools weigh more than the buildings. For a lavender farm, the listing should describe the areas under fine lavender and lavandin, the age of the rows, an on-farm still or membership of a cooperative distillery, and the stock of essential oil. For an olive grove, what matters is the number of trees, the varieties, irrigation, the oil mill or pressing contract, and the farm shop selling olive oil direct. A hop farm is judged on its trellising, its kiln and its cold store; a truffle orchard on its truffle oaks and the record of past harvests. Farms growing aromatic and medicinal plants (known in France as PPAM), saffron, tobacco or hemp add drying rooms, sorting and packing units, sometimes a laboratory or a brand; seed growers hold equipment dedicated to contract multiplication. This equipment, like the stock of finished products and the customer base of a farm shop or a farm-stay business, is valued separately from land and plantations, because it carries a large share of the takeover value.
Provence, Drôme, Périgord, Alsace: where specialist crop farms are found
Provence and the Drôme provençale hold a large share of the specialist crop farms for sale in France: lavender and lavandin plateaus of Haute-Provence, the Baronnies and the Vaucluse, olive groves of the Alpilles, Nyons and the Aix countryside, frequently under a protected designation of origin (AOP), and herb farms supplying distilleries and the cosmetics industry. The South-East is also a major black truffle area, around the Tricastin, while the Périgord, the Quercy and the Lot carry the truffle tradition of the South-West, where tobacco plantations and a revived saffron production are also found. Alsace, with the Kochersberg near Strasbourg, and to a lesser extent French Flanders, hold most of the hop farms for sale, tied to regional breweries and to a long-established contract system. Seed production is found in the Beauce, in the South-West for maize and in Anjou for vegetable seeds, an area that also hosts medicinal plant growers. Hemp is returning to the Aube, the Sarthe and the Manche; Corsica offers olive groves and herb plantations of its own.
Points to check before buying a truffle orchard, a hop farm or a herb holding
The first point is the health and productivity of the plantation: lavender decline on some plateaus, the vulnerability of olive trees to the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa, and the age and actual yield of truffle oaks, whose fruiting is never guaranteed. Then come water – abstraction rights, irrigation syndicate, condition of the network –, the compliance of the still and the oil mill with hygiene standards, and the takeover of contract crops: hops sold to brewers, tobacco delivered to the cooperative, seed multiplied for a seed company, herbs grown to a specification, whose transfer must be accepted in writing. On land, SAFER, the rural land agency, is notified of every sale and may pre-empt the land, the structures control applies to new entrants and to enlargement alike, and a running rural lease continues with the buyer. Organic certification, common in these productions, and appellation membership pass on with the commitment of the parcels, to be checked with the certifier. Finally, hemp may only be grown from authorised listed varieties and must be declared, and tobacco remains tied to a contractual supply chain.
Buying, taking over or selling a specialist crop holding in France
The transaction rarely takes a single form. The grower usually sells the planted land, the buildings and the equipment, transfers the stocks and passes on the commercial contracts; when the farm is run as a company (EARL, SCEA, GAEC), the purchase covers shares, with different tax treatment and warranties, detailed in our article selling the assets or the shares of a farming company. A gradual takeover, where the buyer joins as a partner before the full handover, is a way to learn distilling, pressing or truffle hunting alongside the seller. For the buyer, the process follows a set order: define the project and its marketing (direct sales, farm tourism, industrial contract), confirm the agricultural qualification, examine the accounts and the yields of recent seasons, secure water and land, then sign. Our guide to the steps of buying a farm in France covers that path. For the seller, preparing a farm for sale – inventory of plantations, updated contracts, margins shown per crop – and knowing how to find a buyer for a farm shorten the sale considerably.
Frequently asked questions about buying a specialist crop farm in France
How much does a lavender farm, an olive grove or a truffle orchard cost?
No national average makes sense: the price starts from land at the regional price, plus the plantation according to its age and yield, the buildings and equipment, the stocks and the customer base. An appellation olive grove with its own mill and shop, a truffle orchard in full production and a lavender farm with ageing rows have nothing in common; a specialist crop farm for sale in France is therefore estimated item by item.
Can a foreigner or a non-farmer buy a specialist crop farm in France?
Yes. There is no nationality restriction, and EU and non-EU buyers purchase French farms every year. Buying the land is open to anyone, subject to SAFER's pre-emption right and to the structures control, which may require an operating authorisation. To run the production and receive setting-up aid, you must hold the agricultural professional qualification or partner with a qualified farmer; many career changes into lavender, herbs or saffron start with training.
Does SAFER intervene in the sale of a truffle orchard or a hop farm?
Every sale of planted farmland is notified to SAFER, which may pre-empt it, with exceptions such as a sale to a family member or to the sitting tenant. It also assists some handovers by seeking a candidate. The structures control rules also come into play when a farmer takes on extra land.
How is a plantation of olive trees, truffle oaks or lavandin valued?
A plantation is valued on its age, density, health and average yield over several seasons, rarely on its planting cost. A truffle orchard is judged on its harvest record rather than the age of the trees; an olive grove on its varieties, irrigation and mill; a lavender farm on the vigour of the rows and the quality of the essential oil. It is worth entrusting this valuation to a professional before discussing price.
What special rules apply to hops, tobacco, hemp or seed production?
These crops are grown under contract: hops are sold to brewers or to the cooperative, tobacco delivered to an organised supply chain, seed multiplied for a seed company under strict specifications with isolation distances and inspections. Hemp may only be grown from authorised varieties and must be declared. Before buying, make sure these contracts and approvals will be transferred to you: without an outlet, the plantation loses most of its value. The specialist crop farms for sale on ma-propriete.fr come from growers, rural estate agencies and notaries' offices. Filter by region, area, price or crop – lavender, olives, truffles, hops, herbs, saffron, seeds – and set up an e-mail alert to be told of every new listing.
