These figures have been provided since 2011 for vacant land and since 2012 for rented land.

Land prices in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region

In 2024, the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region will show contrasting trends between unleased and leased land. Unleased land will have an average price of €2,920/ha, a very slight fall of 0.3% compared with 2023 (€2,930/ha). Conversely, rented land is down sharply by 3.3% to €2,670/ha, compared with €2,760/ha the previous year.
This divergence is part of a general moderation in prices in the region. In fact, over the long term (2012-2024), the price of vacant land is down by 2%, while the price of rented land has risen by 9% over the same period.
he increase remains measured, with average annual growth of 0.2% for vacant land and 0.4% for rented land, reflecting a market that is gradually finding its equilibrium.
The difference between unleased and leased land is only 8.6%, which is relatively small compared with other French regions.

Farmland sale prices by département in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region

Open land: very contrasting trends

Burgundy-Franche-Comté's départements will show very mixed fortunes in 2024:
The biggest increases will be in Saône-et-Loire (+7.1% to €2,570/ha), Doubs and Haute-Saône (both +3.8% to €3,040/ha and €2,700/ha respectively). Yonne also posted a moderate increase of 1.7% to €3,580/ha.
The main decreases were in Nièvre (-4.2% to €2,940/ha), Côte-d'Or (-3.8% to €3,050/ha) and Territoire-de-Belfort (-1.6% to €3,620/ha). Jura remains virtually stable, with a slight fall of 0.8% to €2,450/ha.

Leased land: a more even upward trend

The market for rented land is proving more resilient, with widespread increases in all départements:
Yonne (+4.8% to €3,290/ha) and Doubs (+4.6% to €3,210/ha) are leading the way, followed by Haute-Saône (+4.3% to €2,680/ha) and Nièvre (+3.7% to €2,830/ha). Even Saône-et-Loire, which had the highest increase in unsealed land, saw only modest growth (+0.5% to €2,190/ha) in this segment.

Analysis by small region

Wine-growing regions such as the Côte viticole and the Arrière-côte de Bourgogne are maintaining high price levels, reflecting the pressure on land prices due to the attractiveness of these terroirs. The Burgundy plateaux in the Yonne region have confirmed their dynamism, with sustained growth in prices.
Prices in the mountainous areas of the Jura are more restrained but stable, while the agricultural plains of the Doubs and Haute-Saône are benefiting from sustained demand linked to their productive potential.
This diversity of trends reflects the heterogeneity of local markets, influenced by the agronomic quality of the soil, urban pressure and the specific agricultural dynamics of each area of this vast region.

The sale price of farmland in Côte d'Or (21)

Côte-d'Or remains one of the most expensive départements, with vacant land at €3,050/ha in 2024, despite a 3.8% fall compared with 2023. Rented land is up by 4% to €2,870/ha. The difference between unleased and leased land remains at just 7%. Over the long term, growth remains modest: +3.9% since 2011 for unleased land and +7.1% since 2012 for leased land, reflecting a mature and stabilised market.

The sale price of farmland in the Doubs (25) 

The Doubs is showing a positive trend in 2024, with unleased land rising to €3,040/ha (+3.8%) and leased land to €3,210/ha (+5%). A notable feature is that this is the only département where rented land is more expensive than unlet land (a difference of €170/ha). This inversion reflects strong rental demand. The long-term trend is remarkable: +13.2% for vacant land since 2011 and +30.6% for rented land since 2012.
 

The sale price of farmland in Haute-Saône (70)

Prices in Haute-Saône are converging, with freehold land at €2,700/ha (+3.8%) and rented land at €2,680/ha (+4%), a difference of just €20/ha. This near-equality reveals a balanced market between owners and tenants. The long-term trend remains strong: +7.8% for vacant land since 2011 and +17.7% for rented land since 2012, confirming the growing attractiveness of the département.
 

The sale price of farmland in the Jura (39)

The Jura has the most affordable prices in the region, with vacant land at €2,450/ha (down 0.8%) and rented land at €2,390/ha (up 1%). Despite this moderation in prices, the long-term trend is exceptional: +20.1% for unrestricted land since 2011 and +26.3% for rented land since 2012. This growth reflects the département's potential to catch up, making it particularly attractive to investors.
 

The sale price of farmland in Nièvre (58)

In 2024, the Nièvre region will see unlet land at €2,940/ha (-4%) and rented land at €2,830/ha (+4%). The moderate difference of €110/ha reveals a relatively balanced market. The long-term trend is solid: +5.2% for unleased land since 2011 and +20.5% for leased land since 2012. This performance reflects sustained demand, particularly for rented land in this attractive department in the south of the region.
 

The sale price of farmland in Saône-et-Loire (71)

The Saône-et-Loire region has seen a sharp rise in unleased land to €2,570/ha (+7.1%), the highest in the region, while leased land has stagnated at €2,190/ha (0%). This divergence creates the widest gap in the region (€380/ha). The long-term trend confirms this dynamic: +16% for vacant land since 2011 and +8.5% for rented land since 2012, revealing a two-speed market.
 

The sale price of farmland in the Yonne (89)

Prices in the Yonne are buoyant, with vacant land at €3,580/ha (+1.7%) and rented land at €3,290/ha (+5%) in 2024. The difference of €290/ha remains reasonable. The long-term trend is positive: +10% for unleased land since 2011 and +13.3% for leased land since 2012. This steady performance testifies to the attractiveness of the département, which is the region's gateway to Île-de-France.
 

The sale price of farmland in the Territoire de Belfort (90)

The Territoire de Belfort maintains its high prices, with vacant land at €3,620/ha (-2%) and rented land at €3,660/ha (+3%). This is the only département where rented land slightly exceeds unlet land. However, the long-term trend is mixed: -4.5% for vacant land since 2011, the only regional decline, but +4% for rented land since 2012, reflecting a more dynamic rental market.
