The Bas-Rhin department, located in the Grand Est region and more specifically at the heart of historic Alsace, is an area where nature plays a major role. With a forest cover rate of around 38%, this department offers varied landscapes ranging from the Rhine plain to the peaks of the Vosges massif. For silviculture enthusiasts, investors or nature lovers, the opportunities to acquire a forest for sale are real and diverse.
This page is dedicated to listings of forest properties in this dynamic geographical area. Whether you are looking for a massif for timber production, a hunting ground or a corner of nature for leisure, discover the advantages of a forest investment in Bas-Rhin.
The forest market in Bas-Rhin is characterised by the great diversity of its stands and terrain. The department is structurally divided between the agricultural and forest plain to the east and the mountainous relief to the west. This geographical duality directly influences the type of properties offered for a purchase of woodland and forests.
One of the major characteristics of the private forest in Alsace is the richness of its species. If you focus your search on the uplands, particularly a forest in the Vosges massif, you will mainly find conifer high forest. These high-altitude areas are the domain of fir and spruce, species that are particularly sought after for structural timber and industry. The Vosges forest massif is renowned for the quality of its timber and the productivity of its soils.
Conversely, when you go down towards the plain or the foothills of the Vosges, the stands change. You will find more mixed forest or pure broadleaf stands. Oak and beech often dominate these plots, providing high-quality timber for furniture or cooperage. It is also common to find areas managed as coppice with standards, a traditional management method that combines the production of quality wood with that of standing firewood.
Geographical location is a key factor in the price and use of the forest. A forest near Strasbourg will be particularly sought after for leisure projects or by urban investors looking for a quickly accessible “green lung”. Likewise, the northern part of the department, with a forest near Haguenau (a town renowned for its vast joint forest), offers sandy soils suitable for Scots pine and oak. To the west, a forest near Saverne allows you to benefit from the first Vosges reliefs and a wilder atmosphere.
The market offers both small wooded plots for sale in Alsace, ideal for leisure and domestic firewood cutting, and large estates. A large forest estate for sale in this area often attracts groups or institutional investors looking for an optimised production forest.
Beyond silviculture, the department has a long hunting tradition. The association of hunting and forest in 67 is common in the listings. The large massifs are home to sizeable populations of big game (deer, wild boar, roe deer), which enhances the value of forest land in 67 for hunting enthusiasts. Finally, as the timber sector is very active in Alsace, the sale of standing timber and logging benefit from a dense network of sawmills and forestry companies, making management easier for owners.
Our portal is designed to make your search easier and help you find the woodland leisure plot or investment massif that matches your criteria. Before you start, we recommend that you consult our forest buying guide. Here is how we support you in your acquisition project.
To browse the forest listings in 67, our search engine lets you filter properties according to many criteria. You can select the area (in hectares), budget, and also refine by location. If you are specifically looking for a wooded land for sale or a forest pond, our sub-categories will guide you directly to the relevant properties, avoiding any mix between agricultural land and pure forests.
The forest market can sometimes be tight, with demand exceeding supply. To avoid missing any opportunity for reforestation or the purchase of mature timber, we recommend that you create an email alert. As soon as a new listing matching your criteria (such as a conifer high forest in the Vosges) is published, you are notified. On ma-propriete.fr, contact is direct: you get in touch with the seller without intermediaries, whether they are a private individual, a notary or a specialised forest real estate agency.
Each listing strives to present the potential of the property. You will often find information about the forest stand, the existence of a possible management plan, or the access options for carrying out a timber harvest. These elements are crucial for assessing the future profitability of your investment.
