Nouvelle-Aquitaine is a prime destination for anyone planning a rural project. Whether you are an experienced farmer looking to expand or a newcomer to the countryside seeking a career change, this region offers an exceptional diversity of landscapes and production types. Discover below everything you need to know about the agricultural market in Nouvelle-Aquitaine and how our portal supports you in your project.
As the leading agricultural region in France and Europe in terms of production value, Nouvelle-Aquitaine stretches across a vast area from the Massif Central to the Atlantic coast, and from the Poitou plains to the Pyrenees. This geographical scale gives the region a unique agronomic variety, ideal for any type of agricultural project.
With more than 80,000 farms, the region structures its economy around several flagship sectors. The temperate oceanic climate and diverse soils allow for a harmonious coexistence between arable farming (cereals, oilseeds) in the north and west, and livestock activities more prevalent in the centre and south.
The departments of Vienne, Deux-Sèvres and Charente-Maritime are particularly renowned for cereal production and oilseeds. However, the region is equally famous for its livestock. Limousin (Creuse, Haute-Vienne, Corrèze) is the cradle of beef cattle farming, notably with the famous Limousin breed, recognized worldwide. For those interested in the dairy sector, dairy cattle farming remains present, although often complemented by other enterprises.
Nouvelle-Aquitaine is also a land of gastronomy. Duck and goose farming for foie gras is a flagship activity, particularly in Landes, neighbouring Gers and Dordogne. Poultry production (chicken, turkey) is also highly developed. In the south, in Pyrénées-Atlantiques, sheep farming (for milk and meat) dominates mountainous areas, while goat farming is very dynamic in Deux-Sèvres, the leading French department for goat cheese production.
Beyond livestock, the region shines thanks to its specialized crops. Fruit growing is a major activity in Lot-et-Garonne (Agen prunes, hazelnuts, summer fruit). Gironde and Charente are world-famous for viticulture, but also offer opportunities for diversified crops. Finally, in response to growing consumer demand, organic market gardening and organic farming in general are booming, promoting short supply chains and direct farm sales.
Major cities such as Bordeaux, Limoges, Poitiers, Pau, La Rochelle and Angoulême structure the region and offer important commercial outlets for local producers. Acquiring agricultural land for sale in this region means choosing a dynamic area, supported by strong cooperatives and a dense agri-food network.
Planning to buy a farm in Nouvelle-Aquitaine? Ma-propriete.fr has designed specific tools to make your search easier and secure your journey, whether you are a professional or a private buyer.
Our advanced search engine lets you filter listings according to precise criteria that are essential to the viability of your farm. You can select properties based on the Utilized Agricultural Area (UAA), a key factor in sizing your herd or crops. Are you specifically looking for irrigated land to secure your yields in the face of climate variability? Our “irrigation” filter will help you identify these rare opportunities.
The diversity of listings is our strength. On our portal you will find:
For those wishing to start up quickly, we offer turnkey farms, often including farm machinery (tractors, tillage equipment) and livestock. The infrastructure is described in detail: presence of an agricultural shed for storage, a loose housing cattle shed for animal welfare, or a functional, compliant milking parlour.
We also cater for smaller or more atypical projects. You will also find listings for small farms, perfect for market gardening, permaculture or small-animal farming.
To make sure you don’t miss any young farmer installation opportunities, create your personalized e-mail alerts. You will receive, in real time, new listings that match your budget, your preferred location (department or district) and your technical criteria. In addition, the geolocation of listings on our interactive map allows you to assess the land environment: proximity to main roads, configuration of a consolidated land block (a major advantage for reducing travel times and machinery costs) or isolation to avoid neighbourhood conflicts.
On ma-propriete.fr, transparency is paramount: you have access to the contact details of the seller (whether a retiring farmer or a property professional) for direct contact to arrange viewings and discuss the price.
Owners, do you want to sell your property? The key phrase Farm for sale in Nouvelle-Aquitaine is one of the most frequently searched by our visitors. By publishing your listing on ma-propriete.fr, you benefit from unrivalled visibility among a targeted and qualified audience.
Our portal attracts thousands of visitors every month who are specifically interested in rural property. This traffic ensures that your farm transfer offer will be seen by serious buyers: neighbouring farmers looking to expand, young graduates seeking to set up, or investors looking for an agricultural land investment.
We know that selling a farm is a sensitive process that sometimes requires discretion, especially with regard to neighbours or employees. That’s why ma-propriete.fr gives you full control over your communication. You can choose the level of geolocation for your property: exact address, municipality, or simply a wider area to protect the confidentiality of your listing while remaining attractive.
The user-friendliness of our platform lets you highlight all the strengths of your property: detailed description of the farm buildings, inventory of machinery, presentation of the herd, and of course the crucial question of agricultural land and Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) entitlements that can be transferred with the land.
In addition to visibility on the site, your listing benefits from our multi-channel distribution strategy. It can appear in several relevant sub-categories (for example, “Wine estate” and “Farm property” at the same time if your asset fits both) and is shared on our social networks and specialist Facebook groups, further increasing your chances of quickly finding a buyer.
Ma-propriete.fr is not just a classified ads website; we are a genuine partner in your rural success.
To secure your transaction, we facilitate connections with rural property professionals. Specialist estate agents, notaries, land experts: these partners know the local specificities of Nouvelle-Aquitaine and the complex regulations relating to tenancy law or farm structure controls (SAFER). You can submit a request directly to our partners via our dedicated form.
Valuing the price is often the most complex step in a sale or purchase. How much is a hectare of cereal land in Vienne worth? What is the price of a vineyard in Gironde? To help you get a clearer view, we offer land valuation studies. These tools allow you to understand the market and position your offer at the right price.
Finally, because an agricultural project needs to be carefully prepared, we provide a rich knowledge base through our blog articles. There you will find legal, tax and technical advice, including our complete buying guide, an essential read before getting started.
To go even further, feel free to consult our white papers, which explore in depth the topics of farm transfer and setting up.
