Isère combines field crops and walnut groves (AOP Grenoble walnut) in the Bas-Dauphiné and Grésivaudan with dairy farming on the terres froides and alpine pastures. Proximity to Grenoble and Lyon keeps peri-urban pressure high in the valleys. 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.
