The sale price of farmland in Occitanie

Updated April 14, 2026: Find the most recent data on our Land Price Observatory (DVF data 2020-2025) which presents average and median prices, as well as transaction ranges for your region and each department.

Occitanie is the second largest French region by area and the largest in terms of utilized agricultural area (UAA), with nearly 3.2 million hectares farmed. Composed of 13 departments, it presents an agricultural mosaic of rare diversity: field crops in Lauragais and Gers, cattle and sheep farming in the Causses and Aubrac, dairy production in the Roquefort basin, fruit growing and market gardening in the Garonne valley, and of course the Languedoc vineyard, France's leading vineyard by area.

This article presents the price of agricultural land in Occitanie based on DVF (Demandes de Valeurs Foncières) data analyzed by ma-propriete.fr. The scope chosen is that of agricultural land excluding vineyards: field crops, meadows, arable land. This distinction is essential in Occitanie, where vineyards occupy a major place — particularly in Aude, Hérault, Gard, and Pyrénées-Orientales — but follow a specific market logic (AOC classifications, value of planting rights) that justifies their exclusion.

The 2024 data constitutes the robust reference for this article. The 2025 figures are also presented and highlighted, but they only cover the 1st half of the year: they must therefore be interpreted with caution. All the statistics presented are updated periodically on our agricultural land price observatory.

Land prices in Occitanie

ma-propriete.fr statistics (source DVF)

In the 1st half of 2025 (partial data to be interpreted with caution), agricultural land in Occitanie was traded at a median price of €7,000/ha across 450 transactions, a level close to that observed in 2022 and 2020. This semi-annual volume suggests a year 2025 consistent with the average of the five previous years.

The year 2024, which constitutes the most recent complete reference, saw 1,026 transactions completed in Occitanie for a median price of €7,320/ha and an average price of €8,069/ha. The gap between the average and median (nearly €750/ha) reflects a significant price dispersion, driven upwards by a few high-value transactions in the Mediterranean departments.

The regional median price in Occitanie is significantly above the national median (€5,284/ha in 2024), representing a positive difference of nearly 39%. This high positioning is explained by the strong presence of high-priced departments (Gard, Hérault) and by the quality of the irrigated lowland soils of the Garonne valley. Conversely, mountain areas (Lozère, Ariège, Hautes-Pyrénées) pull the average down.

The table below summarizes the DVF statistics for Occitanie over the 2020-2025 period. The median price is preferred for characterizing the market, as it is less sensitive to extreme values than the average. The P10 and P90 percentiles bracket 80% of transactions and provide a valuable indication of price dispersion.

Ministry of Agriculture statistics (source SAFER)

SAFER data, published annually by the Ministry of Agriculture, offer a longer historical perspective than DVF. They usually distinguish vacant land (sold without an ongoing lease) from rented land (sold with a tenant farmer in place). In Occitanie, only SAFER statistics on vacant land are available: the volume of transactions on rented land is insufficient to produce a reliable regional series, as explicitly noted by the Ministry of Agriculture.

According to SAFER, the average price of vacant land and meadows in Occitanie reached €7,280/ha in 2024, compared to €6,400/ha for the average in metropolitan France. Occitanie is therefore above the national average, but this gap is more moderate than with the DVF data. The difference lies in the methodologies: SAFER works from sales notifications sent to it by notaries within a strictly agricultural scope, while DVF covers a broader land scope.

Over the 2011-2024 period, the average price of vacant land in Occitanie rose from €5,970/ha to €7,280/ha, an increase of +21.9% in thirteen years. This rise is comparable to that observed at the national level (+19.4% over the same period) and reflects a fundamental trend toward the gradual valuation of the region's agricultural land, punctuated by limited annual corrections.

A joint reading of DVF and SAFER sources reveals a systematic level discrepancy: DVF statistics are significantly higher than SAFER averages. This gap is notably explained by the fact that DVF includes, despite the filters applied, certain transactions of land with mixed purposes (agricultural and residential leisure) which drive prices up. The two sources converge, however, on the trend: a progressive valuation of regional agricultural land since the early 2010s.

Land prices by department

Occitanie is characterized by strong disparities between departments, reflecting the diversity of agronomic contexts and market dynamics. The graph below orders the thirteen departments by 2024 median price and allows for visualizing their relative position compared to the regional and national median.

Sale price of agricultural land in Ariège (09)

In the 1st half of 2025 (partial data), the median price in Ariège stands at €9,382/ha across 6 transactions. In 2024, the complete reference year, there were 41 sales for a median price of €6,268/ha and an average price of €6,955/ha.

Ariège is a land of extensive mountain farming. Permanent meadows, suckler cattle, and sheep farming dominate, with mixed farming-livestock in the Ariège plain and the hillsides. Dairy production is present in the Pyrenean areas.

According to SAFER, the 2024 average price of vacant land in Ariège is €5,860/ha, compared to the DVF average price of €6,955/ha. Both sources provide a consistent framework, with differences explained by their respective scopes.

Sale price of agricultural land in Aude (11)

In the 1st half of 2025 (partial data), the median price in Aude stands at €5,073/ha across 25 transactions. In 2024, the complete reference year, there were 55 sales for a median price of €7,116/ha and an average price of €6,944/ha.

Aude is marked by a strong viticultural component, which is excluded from the scope of this article. Excluding vineyards, the land market mainly concerns field crops in the Lauragais audois, meadows, and sheep farming in the Corbières.

According to SAFER, the 2024 average price of vacant land in Aude is €6,360/ha, compared to the DVF average price of €6,944/ha. Both sources provide a consistent framework, with differences explained by their respective scopes.

Sale price of agricultural land in Aveyron (12)

In the 1st half of 2025 (partial data), the median price in Aveyron stands at €7,133/ha across 47 transactions. In 2024, the complete reference year, there were 102 sales for a median price of €7,459/ha and an average price of €7,456/ha.

Aveyron is a land of livestock farming par excellence: the Roquefort dairy production basin, and cattle and sheep farming on the Aubrac, Lévézou, and Causses. Meadows represent the bulk of the UAA, which explains relatively stable prices over time.

According to SAFER, the 2024 average price of vacant land in Aveyron is €7,350/ha, compared to the DVF average price of €7,456/ha. Both sources provide a consistent framework, with differences explained by their respective scopes.

Sale price of agricultural land in Gard (30)

In the 1st half of 2025 (partial data), the median price in Gard stands at €9,384/ha across 12 transactions. In 2024, the complete reference year, there were 42 sales for a median price of €13,000/ha and an average price of €14,171/ha.

Gard is a department with a strong viticultural dominance (excluded from the scope). Excluding vineyards, transactions involve field crops in the Rhône Valley, meadows in the Cévennes, and arable land in the Vistrenque. Mediterranean land pressure explains a high price level.

According to SAFER, the 2024 average price of vacant land in Gard is €13,240/ha, compared to the DVF average price of €14,171/ha. Both sources provide a consistent framework, with differences explained by their respective scopes.

Sale price of agricultural land in Haute-Garonne (31)

In the 1st half of 2025 (partial data), the median price in Haute-Garonne stands at €7,345/ha across 72 transactions. In 2024, the complete reference year, there were 177 sales for a median price of €7,623/ha and an average price of €7,991/ha.

Haute-Garonne, with the Lauragais and Volvestre, is one of the region's major grain-producing basins (durum wheat, sunflower, corn). Irrigated lowland soils are particularly sought after there. The department concentrates one of the largest transaction volumes in Occitanie.

According to SAFER, the 2024 average price of vacant land in Haute-Garonne is €7,900/ha, compared to the DVF average price of €7,991/ha. Both sources provide a consistent framework, with differences explained by their respective scopes.

Sale price of agricultural land in Gers (32)

In the 1st half of 2025 (partial data), the median price in Gers stands at €6,596/ha across 120 transactions. In 2024, the complete reference year, there were 219 sales for a median price of €6,919/ha and an average price of €7,074/ha.

Gers is a land of mixed farming-livestock, with a grain-growing tradition and waterfowl farming. On its own, Gers concentrates about one-fifth of regional transactions in 2024, making it a key indicator of the Occitan land market.

According to SAFER, the 2024 average price of vacant land in Gers is €7,250/ha, compared to the DVF average price of €7,074/ha. Both sources provide a consistent framework, with differences explained by their respective scopes.

Sale price of agricultural land in Hérault (34)

In the 1st half of 2025 (partial data), the median price in Hérault stands at €9,412/ha across 18 transactions. In 2024, the complete reference year, there were 34 sales for a median price of €20,000/ha and an average price of €17,684/ha.

Hérault is marked by the Languedoc vineyard, excluded from the scope of this article. Excluding vineyards, land pressure remains strong on the rare arable land, particularly on the coast where peri-urban sprawl weighs heavily on prices and explains the high volatility of statistics.

According to SAFER, the 2024 average price of vacant land in Hérault is €13,480/ha, compared to the DVF average price of €17,684/ha. Both sources provide a consistent framework, with differences explained by their respective scopes.

Sale price of agricultural land in Lot (46)

In the 1st half of 2025 (partial data), the median price in Lot stands at €5,479/ha across 19 transactions. In 2024, the complete reference year, there were 42 sales for a median price of €5,199/ha and an average price of €5,163/ha.

Lot favors mixed farming-livestock, sheep and goat production, truffles, and walnuts. Quercy Blanc and the Causse present rather moderate prices, reflecting extensive agriculture on sometimes shallow soils.

According to SAFER, the 2024 average price of vacant land in Lot is €5,650/ha, compared to the DVF average price of €5,163/ha. Both sources provide a consistent framework, with differences explained by their respective scopes.

Sale price of agricultural land in Lozère (48)

In the 1st half of 2025 (partial data), the median price in Lozère stands at €2,887/ha across 5 transactions. In 2024, the complete reference year, there were 21 sales for a median price of €3,054/ha and an average price of €3,462/ha.

Lozère is the cheapest department in Occitanie. Mountain agriculture on the Aubrac and Margeride, extensive cattle and sheep farming, permanent meadows: plots are often large but not very productive, which mechanically pulls prices down.

According to SAFER, the 2024 average price of vacant land in Lozère is €5,480/ha, compared to the DVF average price of €3,462/ha. Both sources provide a consistent framework, with differences explained by their respective scopes.

Sale price of agricultural land in Hautes-Pyrénées (65)

In the 1st half of 2025 (partial data), the median price in Hautes-Pyrénées stands at €8,698/ha across 33 transactions. In 2024, the complete reference year, there were 57 sales for a median price of €8,004/ha and an average price of €8,062/ha.

Hautes-Pyrénées combines mountain livestock farming, Pyrenean meadows, and crops from the Adour region. The hillsides show higher prices than the pure mountain areas, where livestock activity is predominant.

According to SAFER, the 2024 average price of vacant land in Hautes-Pyrénées is €7,840/ha, compared to the DVF average price of €8,062/ha. Both sources provide a consistent framework, with differences explained by their respective scopes.

Sale price of agricultural land in Pyrénées-Orientales (66)

In the 1st half of 2025, only 4 transactions were recorded in Pyrénées-Orientales, a volume insufficient to produce a significant statistic. In 2024, the complete reference year, 10 sales were recorded for a median price of €12,568/ha and an average price of €13,912/ha.

Pyrénées-Orientales is marked by vineyards and arboriculture (vineyards excluded from the scope). Outside of vineyards, the land market remains very narrow, with very few transactions per year, making statistics volatile from one year to the next.

According to SAFER, the 2024 average price of vacant land in Pyrénées-Orientales is €8,600/ha, compared to the DVF average price of €13,912/ha. Both sources provide a consistent framework, with differences explained by their respective scopes.

Tarn-et-Garonne is often described as the "orchard of France": arboriculture, market gardening, field crops. Irrigated land in the Garonne and Tarn valleys is among the most sought-after in the region.

According to SAFER, the 2024 average price of vacant land in Tarn-et-Garonne is €7,490/ha, compared to the DVF average price of €8,276/ha. Both sources provide a consistent framework, with differences explained by their respective scopes.

Analysis methods and statistical limitations

Used DVF transaction analysis method

The DVF statistics presented in this article come from the processing of the "Demandes de Valeurs Foncières" files published by the Directorate General of Public Finances (DGFiP). This file records all transfers for consideration recorded in France, with the exception of the Alsace and Moselle departments, which fall under the Land Book.

We have selected transactions exclusively involving agricultural land, excluding transfers involving buildings, mixed property, very small plots (which generally correspond to family transfers or micro-plots), and transactions where the price per square meter is inconsistent. Vineyards and land classified as viticultural AOC are systematically excluded from the scope so as not to bias regional statistics — a particularly important point in Occitanie.

Limitations of DVF data

Several limitations must be kept in mind to correctly interpret these statistics. First, the 2025 data only cover the 1st half of the year and are therefore partial: the number of sales is logically divided by two compared to a full year, and some of the semester's transactions had not yet been published at the time of extraction. Second, Alsace and Moselle are absent from the DVF file, which does not affect Occitanie but must be taken into account in national comparisons. Finally, some plots may have a mixed use (agricultural and residential leisure) that is difficult to distinguish, which introduces an upward bias on prices, particularly in peri-urban or Mediterranean coastal areas.

Differences with SAFER statistics

SAFER statistics are based on sales notifications sent by notaries to SAFER, which has a right of first refusal on sales of agricultural land. The scope is therefore strictly agricultural, but SAFER applies its own filters and publishes departmental averages without providing access to percentiles. DVF offers much greater granularity (number of sales, median, P10, P90) but at the cost of more extensive cleaning work. In practice, the two sources are complementary, and the observed gaps should be understood as the result of different methodological choices rather than a divergence in interpretation.

Conclusion

The agricultural land market in Occitanie, as it appears in the 2024 DVF data, is characterized by a median price of €7,320/ha — significantly higher than the national median — and by marked dispersion between high-priced Mediterranean departments (Gard, Hérault, Pyrénées-Orientales) and more modest areas (Lozère, Lot, Ariège). The first half of 2025 confirms the relative stability of the market, without any apparent break. Over the long term, SAFER data shows a continuous valuation of vacant land, in a trajectory close to the national average.
