In Alpes-Maritimes, farming is residual and highly specialised: horticulture and perfume plants (Grasse), olive groves and market gardening on an urbanised coast, pastoral livestock in the high country. Farmland is extremely scarce and under intense urban pressure. Free of any tenancy, the land can be put to work from the first season.

Before signing, three points to check: the SAFER's pre-emption right (cleared through notarised notification, two-month response), land-structure control (farming authorisation depending on area and situation) and transfer duties (about 5.8% of the price, before fees). After the purchase, farm directly or let under a rural lease: long-term leases carry, under conditions, IFI and inheritance advantages. Estimate your budget with our financial calculators.
