Welcome to the department of Lot, an exceptional area located in the Occitanie region, where unspoilt nature and built heritage offer an ideal living environment for horse enthusiasts. Whether you are a professional rider, a passionate breeder or a private individual looking for a change of life in the countryside, the rural property market in the Lot is full of unique opportunities. On ma-propriete.fr, we help you discover the finest equestrian properties in this authentic area.
The Lot is a department distinguished by the diversity of its landscapes, offering varied terrain for horse riding. From arid limestone plateaus to lush green valleys, each area offers a specific environment suited to different equestrian projects. The equine activity here is dynamic, driven by highly developed green tourism and a strong culture of trail riding.
One of the major assets of this department is the beauty of its rural architecture. It is not uncommon to find a character stone house at the heart of an equestrian property. Buyers often fall under the spell of a typical Quercy house with its dovecote, or a large renovated farmhouse that combines modern comfort with old-world charm. These property complexes often offer large volumes, sometimes including a convertible barn, ideal for creating equestrian gites or extending the facilities.
The area is criss-crossed by thousands of kilometres of trails. If you are keen on outdoor riding, prioritise a property with direct access to bridle paths. The Causses du Quercy Regional Nature Park offers wild expanses perfect for endurance riding, while the Quercy Blanc, south of Cahors, offers more undulating and luminous landscapes.
For those seeking cooler temperatures and rich pastures, the Célé valley or the banks of the Lot are highly sought-after areas. Some properties even benefit from river access or natural water springs, a valuable asset for watering livestock and irrigating meadows. If you are looking for proximity to services, the Cahors area (the prefecture) or the surroundings near Figeac offer an excellent compromise between rural life and urban amenities.

The purchase of an equestrian property requires particular attention to technical and land-related details. To help you, we provide you with our complete guide to buying an equestrian property. Our portal ma-propriete.fr has also developed specific tools to make your search easier and secure your purchase project.
Unlike generalist websites, our search engine understands riders’ needs. You can filter listings according to precise criteria related to your activity: the presence of a dressage arena for flatwork, an indoor arena for riding in all weather conditions, or the number of available horse boxes. You can also select the area in hectares of land required for your project, whether it is a few hectares for leisure riding or a large area for breeding.
Our listings describe the existing equestrian facilities in detail. You will quickly know whether the property has paddocks for the horses’ daily turnout, fenced meadows (with details of electric fencing or wooden fencing), or field shelters. For working comfort, the presence of a horse shower, a secure tack room, a grooming area or a lunging ring is clearly indicated.
The market can be tight when it comes to quality properties such as a secluded property with no overlooking neighbours. By creating an email alert on our website, you will be informed in real time of new listings matching your criteria (budget, location, flat land, etc.). In addition, ma-propriete.fr enables you to contact the seller directly, whether a private individual or a specialised agency, thus facilitating discussions on crucial points such as the presence of adjoining farmland.
Owners, if you hold an equestrian property in the Lot, ma-propriete.fr is the essential showcase to promote your asset to a qualified audience.
Our portal attracts thousands of visitors every month specifically looking for rural and equestrian properties. By publishing your listing with us, you will reach project owners with serious intentions: setting up a horse boarding business, farmers moving in, or amateur riders. Your listing will not be drowned among urban apartments, but highlighted for enthusiasts who understand the value of a professional facility.
We give you the opportunity to describe your property’s technical features in detail. You can highlight the compliance of your facilities, such as a manure pit meeting current standards or a large-capacity hay storage shed. Agricultural outbuildings and other farm buildings are strong selling points that our interface allows you to showcase effectively.
We know that discretion is sometimes necessary. That is why we let you choose the level of geolocation for your listing (exact municipality or wider area). Furthermore, to maximise your chances of selling, your listing can be displayed simultaneously in several categories (for example “Agricultural Property” and “Prestige Property”) and shared on our social networks and dedicated Facebook groups, reaching an active community.
Beyond simply publishing listings, ma-propriete.fr positions itself as a real partner for your rural property project thanks to a wide range of services.
To secure your transaction, we can put you in touch with sector experts. Through our contact request form, find the rural property professional capable of accurately valuing your property or assisting you with administrative procedures (SAFER, planning regulations).

Buying an equestrian property is not something you improvise. To guide you, we provide a wealth of educational resources on our blog. We particularly recommend reading our dedicated articles.
