France's leading region for milk, pork and poultry, Brittany concentrates intensive livestock farming on a bocage landscape, completed by the northern coastal vegetable belt (cauliflowers, artichokes, shallots). Expansion demand from livestock farms and the need for manure-spreading acreage keep competition constant on land, most of which is farmed under tenancy. Free of any tenancy, the land can be put to work from the first season. Also browse the farms and agricultural estates for sale in Brittany.
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.
