In Essonne, the Beauce and Hurepoix still carry fine cereal plains (wheat, barley, sugar beet) and Méréville watercress, but Paris-region urbanisation squeezes a narrow, illiquid farmland market. With no lease in place, you keep full latitude over the choice of productions. Also browse the farms and agricultural estates for sale in Essonne.
Legally, buying farmland follows a well-marked path: notification to the SAFER holding a pre-emption right, a farming authorisation where required (structure control), and a notarised deed with about 5.8% transfer duties. Fiscally, letting under a rural lease generates property income, and long-term leases open, under conditions, partial IFI exemptions and allowances on transmission. Our financial calculators (financing plan, notary fees) are there to help.
