Looking for a poultry farm for sale in Savoie? This alpine department is above all dairy country, and poultry is usually a complementary enterprise: free-range broilers, small laying-hen units, batches of ducks or guinea fowl run alongside a dairy or beef herd. The listings gathered on this page come from farmers preparing a handover, specialist rural agencies and notaries, and state the area of the livestock building, the production system, the outlets in place and the range attached. They sit alongside the wider national offer of poultry farms for sale.
Beyond the listings, this page brings together the benchmarks buyers often lack: farmland prices in the department, the areas where holdings come up, the condition of the buildings to inspect and the checks specific to the sector. If you are setting up, our white paper « Créer une exploitation agricole » (in French) sets out each stage, from the agricultural qualification to the funding package.
Land remains the largest item when buying a poultry farm. According to sales recorded by the French tax administration (DVF, vineyards excluded), the median price of agricultural land in Savoie (73) stood at €4,328/ha in 2025, with an average of €4,986/ha across 23 sales; 80% of transactions fall between €2,035 and €8,340/ha, against a national median of €5,307/ha. * Fewer than 30 recorded sales: indicative value.
The SAFER benchmark of land values (2025 figures) puts vacant land and pasture at €5,100/ha (-9.3% year on year, +5.2% over ten years), against a national average of €6,460/ha; land already let sells around 17% lower.
In mountain country, the value of a poultry unit rarely rests on hectares alone. The house itself, its frame, insulation and ventilation, the mobile shelters moved around the range, the cold room, the cutting room where there is one and the birds on site weigh more heavily. Add to that a business built on direct selling, with its customer base of markets, farm shops and resort restaurants. To place a listing in context, use our land price observatory and our financial calculators.
Poultry houses on the market here are rarely long standard units: most are modest buildings, sometimes mobile huts set on grassland, or laying rooms fitted into former farm volumes. Buyers look at the frame, roof and insulation, sized to carry snow, at the ventilation and heating, at the floor and the biosecurity entry room, then at the fencing of the range and its protection against predators. A building recently brought up to standard, with a feed silo, a frost-protected water point and access that can be cleared in winter, sells above an older volume whose return to service implies heavy work.
Free-range, label rouge and organic systems call for enough range area and rotation blocks, which brings the valuation closer to that of a grassland farm. Where an on-farm slaughter room, cutting room and cold store are included, their health approval and compliance matter as much as the livestock building. In holdings offered with a dwelling house and land, ask for the asking price to be broken down item by item: the production tool, the house and the land are not assessed against the same references.
Supply is concentrated in the lower ground: the Combe de Savoie between Montmélian and Albertville, the Avant-Pays savoyard around Yenne and Novalaise, and the edges of the Chambéry basin. These areas combine mixed holdings, quick access to outlets and cultivable land. Higher up, in the Bauges, the Beaufortain, the Tarentaise and the Maurienne, cheese dairying takes up most of the farmland and poultry units stay small, usually tied to selling at the farm gate.
Pressure on land is strong around Chambéry, Aix-les-Bains and the valleys serving the ski resorts, where farmland is scarce and asking prices carry a residential premium. Further west, away from the urban centres, communes offer a better balance between the cost of land and the availability of buildings. A poultry holding on the market there also has a nearby visitor clientele, a lasting advantage for a short-circuit project.
Depending on flock size, a unit falls under the French classified installations regime, by declaration, registration or authorisation, and any change of operator must be notified to the prefecture: ask for the order in force, since an old text may carry requirements that have become restrictive. The biosecurity plan, the management of the sanitary void between batches and the housing measures applied during avian influenza risk periods should be checked on paper and on site. The distance to dwellings and third parties governs any extension, so measure it before picturing an extra building.
Next check the status of the land: part of it is often rented, the rural lease continues with the buyer subject to the landlord's agreement, and the transaction goes through the structures control, the French authorisation regime for taking over farmland, and SAFER's pre-emption right. In mountain areas, also examine rights of way, winter access and water availability. Where the business rests on direct selling, the health approval, the volumes sold and the customer base should be documented before any offer.
