Welcome to ma-propriete.fr, the leading portal for rural real estate. If you are looking for an exceptional living environment combining unspoiled nature, a mild climate and infrastructure adapted to horses, the Landes department is a first-choice destination. We offer you a complete analysis of the local equestrian market and present our exclusive services to successfully carry out your purchase or sales project.
Located in the heart of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, the Landes department offers a geographical and geological environment that is unique in France and particularly suitable for equestrian activities. With more than 60% of its territory covered by forest (the Landes de Gascogne forest massif), this department is a real haven of peace for riders and their horses.
The equestrian real estate market in Mont-de-Marsan and the rest of the department stands out for its great diversity of properties. There are many riding centers, livery yards, as well as private character properties. One of the most sought-after local features is undoubtedly the Landes airial with meadows. These vast clearings in the middle of the pine trees, often home to a typical half-timbered Landes house with a steep roof, offer a quiet and secluded environment, ideal for animal well-being.
The Landes soil is a major asset: its sandy nature provides an exceptional natural well-draining soil. This allows horses to be turned out all year round without suffering from mud, which is a considerable advantage compared with other clay-rich regions. Whether you are looking for an estate with an arena or simply hacking trails, the quality of the ground will protect your horses’ feet and tendons.
Equestrian activity is dynamic here, driven by tourism and sport. You will easily find a stud farm for sale in Landes or an equestrian center for sale (40) close to urban hubs. The main towns such as Dax (a renowned spa town), Mont-de-Marsan (the prefecture), or Biscarrosse and Hossegor on the coast structure the area. Moreover, a property for horses in Dax often benefits from the proximity of the racecourse and specialized veterinary clinics.
For nature lovers, the bridle paths in the Landes forest offer hundreds of kilometers of hacking with direct access to trails from many properties. In addition, the proximity of the Côte d’Argent makes it possible to fulfill the dream of many riders: galloping on the beach at low tide, thanks to the often sought-after proximity to the Atlantic beaches for an equestrian tourism activity.
In terms of property types, the range extends from a small renovated equestrian farm ideal for a family, to a turnkey professional equestrian facility including an indoor arena, a Fontainebleau sand outdoor arena and many hectares of fenced pastures. The department has several thousand license holders and a solid breeding sector, particularly for sport horses and Landes ponies.
Acquiring an equestrian property requires specific expertise. On ma-propriete.fr, we have developed dedicated tools to help you find that rare gem, whether it is a simple house with equestrian facilities or a competition complex.
Our advanced search engine lets you filter listings according to precise criteria that are essential for horse people:
Each listing is detailed so that you can visualize the property’s potential. You will quickly be able to identify the presence of convertible farm outbuildings, a hay storage barn, or field shelters already in place. Photos and descriptions highlight features such as a cross-country course or paddocks with wooden rails.
Our email alert system allows you to be notified in real time as soon as a new property matching your criteria (budget, location, area) is posted online. In addition, we make direct contact easy: you communicate without intermediaries with the seller, whether a private individual or a specialized real estate agency. Finally, the geolocation of listings helps you place the property in relation to major roads, urban centers or state forests.

Buying an equestrian estate often raises complex legal, tax or technical questions. We offer a referral service to experts in rural real estate (notaries, lawyers, land experts, surveyors) to secure your transaction.
Determining the fair price of an equestrian property is tricky. You need to assess the value of the dwelling house, but also that of the sports facilities (which are expensive to build but depreciate quickly) and the farmland. Our valuation tools and partners help you see things more clearly.
Our blog is a goldmine of information for future owners. You will find advice on pasture maintenance, regulations for equestrian facilities and agricultural taxation. We particularly invite you to consult our complete guide to successfully buying your property.
