In Savoie, farming is alpine: dairy herds for AOP Beaufort and Tome des Bauges in the Beaufortain, Tarentaise and Maurienne, with Savoie vineyards and orchards in the foreland valleys. The few workable valley plots are hotly contested. Land free of any lease lets you launch the cropping project of your choice immediately.

The framework is the same across France: notification of the sale to the SAFER (pre-emption right, two months), a possible farming authorisation under structure-control rules, transfer duties of about 5.8% plus notary fees. The buyer can then farm directly or grant a rural lease under the statut du fermage; long-term leases open, under conditions, partial IFI exemptions and inheritance allowances. Our financial calculators help you budget the project.
