Welcome to the page dedicated to rural land on ma-propriete.fr. Whether you are a farmer wishing to expand your landholding, a project owner looking for your first plot, or an investor, you will find here a rigorous selection of land opportunities across France.
The acquisition of agricultural land in France is a crucial step in the development or creation of a rural activity. Unlike the purchase of a complete farm including residential buildings and livestock, this section focuses on bare land and production supports.
In France, the diversity of terroirs makes it possible to find cultivable plots suited to all types of projects. Two main categories of land can be distinguished:
The major advantage of the listings in this category is the mention free of lease or free of any occupation. This means that the buyer can farm the land immediately after purchase, without being bound by an existing tenancy. This is often a necessary condition for an installation project or for rapid expansion.
Although we often speak of "bare land", these properties may include specific improvements that enhance agronomy and crop production. It is not uncommon to find plots equipped with irrigation systems (hydrants, underground networks, pivots), drainage systems to manage soil moisture, or hillside reservoirs. These facilities significantly increase the value and yield potential of the hectares concerned.
From an economic point of view, the market is dynamic. The price per hectare varies considerably depending on the region and soil quality, ranging from a few thousand euros for rustic livestock areas to much higher amounts for high-potential arable land or wine-growing areas.
A successful land purchase requires analysis of several technical and administrative criteria to ensure the viability of your project.
The first criterion is the nature of the soil. The soil quality (depth, texture, organic matter content) will determine the types of crops possible. For those targeting organic farming or permaculture, it is essential to check the history of treatments and the crop rotation previously practiced. A soil analysis is often recommended before signing.
Field accessibility is also a logistical factor not to be overlooked: are the plots accessible to modern agricultural machinery? Are they fragmented or grouped together? Land consolidation and the shape of the plots directly influence working time and fuel consumption. Boundary marking must be clear to avoid any disputes with neighbours.
Area is the key factor. It is important to think in terms of Utilised Agricultural Area (UAA), that is, the actual area available for production, excluding small woods or unproductive tracks.
When selling plots, it is crucial to obtain information about the transfer of basic payment entitlements (BPE). These entitlements, linked to the CAP (Common Agricultural Policy), represent a significant share of a farmer's income. Ensuring that BPEs are properly transferred with the land is a major point of attention.
Land investment often requires specific bank support (Crédit Agricole, Crédit Mutuel, etc.) over long periods (15 to 20 years).
Finally, it is impossible to talk about land in France without mentioning the Safer (Sociétés d’aménagement foncier et d’établissement rural – Land Development and Rural Settlement Societies). This body has a pre-emptive right over each sale in order to regulate the market, avoid speculation and promote young farmer installation. It is therefore essential to anticipate this notification period (generally 2 months) in your acquisition schedule.
