Welcome to the Pyrénées-Orientales section of our ma-propriete.fr portal. Located in the far south of the Occitanie region, this area boasts a unique diversity of landscapes and climates, ranging from Mediterranean beaches to the snow-capped peaks of the Pyrenees. This geographical richness translates into a varied, dynamic, and renowned agricultural sector. Whether you are looking for a traditional farm for sale , productive orchards, or land to launch an innovative project, our site is the ideal tool to make your dream a reality.
The Pyrénées-Orientales department, identified by the code 66 , is a land of contrasts where agriculture plays a major economic and heritage role. With a Mediterranean climate characterized by abundant sunshine and frequent winds such as the Tramontane, the region is ideal for specific, high-value crops.
Catalan agriculture (a term often used locally) is concentrated around several distinct geographical areas. The Roussillon plain , a veritable market garden and orchard, stretches around the prefecture, Perpignan, and towns like Saint-Estève, Rivesaltes, and Elne. It is here that one finds a high concentration ofmarket gardening and fruit growing . The department is historically known as the orchard of France, particularly for stone fruits. If you are looking for a fruit farm , you will find magnificent plots planted with peach , nectarine, and apricot trees (including the Roussillon red apricot, a recognized Protected Designation of Origin).
Further inland, towards the Conflent (Prades) and the Vallespir (Céret), the landscape changes, offering terroirs suited to other crops. Here, one finds cherry and apple orchards , as well as a resurgence in olive cultivation, producing high-quality oils. The climate also allows for the development of niche crops such as citrus fruits , which are increasingly popular, and almond trees.
Access to water is the cornerstone of agriculture in this region, which experiences dry summers. The presence of an irrigation canal or efficient irrigation systems is often the determining factor in the value of agricultural land . Irrigated land ensures reliable yields, whether for field vegetable crops (lettuce, artichokes, tomatoes) or for fruit trees.
At higher altitudes, particularly in Cerdagne and Capcir, the agricultural landscape transforms to make way for livestock farming. Sheep and cattle farming are predominant, taking advantage of the summer pastures . This is also an area where traditional stone farm buildings can be found, often associated with vast expanses of agricultural land .
The department is also seeing the emergence of numerous projects focused on organic farming and permaculture , driven by strong local demand and a desire to preserve this exceptional environment. Whether for a small-scale farm operating on a short supply chain or a large exporting operation, Pyrénées-Orientales offers immense potential.

Each listing is geolocated (according to the seller's choice), allowing you to see the property's location relative to roads, cooperatives, or irrigation networks.
