Nestled in the Pays de la Loire region, the Sarthe is a true natural treasure. With its varied forest massifs, it offers a diversity of ecosystems ranging from production forests to areas dedicated to biodiversity. Here you will find species such as pedunculate oak, maritime pine and beech, which add to the richness of these habitats. The forests of the Sarthe play a key role in the sustainable management of natural resources, enabling timber production and carbon storage. They are also home to many activities — leisure, hunting, walking and fishing — that contribute to the local economy.
Rules governing tree felling and management plans are strict, ensuring these resources are used responsibly. In addition, private forests enjoy significant tax advantages, such as inheritance-tax relief and Real Estate Wealth Tax (IFI) exemptions, encouraging investment in woodland. This diversity of uses, combined with strong environmental stakes, makes the Sarthe an outstanding place to buy a forest.
