Finding a hunting property for sale in Haute-Garonne means choosing between three quite distinct kinds of hunting country, strung out from north to south along the whole length of the department. Around Toulouse, the Lauragais and the Gascony hills are arable land where woods are scarce, apart from the forests of Bouconne and Buzet. Further south, the Comminges hills and the Petites Pyrénées form foothills of woods, meadows and hedges holding roe deer, wild boar and red deer. Finally, the Luchon area and the Haut-Comminges open onto high mountains, with their beech and fir forests and the isard, the Pyrenean chamois. The shooting estates and hunting land for sale gathered on this page cover all three, listed by private sellers, estate agents and notaires.
After this overview come the prices of woods and ponds recorded in the department, the big game culls, isard included, and then the rules to know before buying, starting with how the ACCAs work. To prepare the purchase of the woodland itself, our white paper on buying a forest answers the practical questions.
A hunting estate is rarely valued with a single figure: its price adds up the value of the woodland, the ponds, the buildings and the shooting facilities. The statistics below give benchmarks for wooded land and ponds, based on sales actually recorded.
According to the ma-propriete.fr forest price observatory, built from sales recorded in the French DVF land registry database, the median price of a hectare of forest in Haute-Garonne was €4,012/ha in 2025*, across 42 sales, with an average of €4,482/ha. That puts the department above the Occitanie median (€3,333/ha) and below the national median (€4,936/ha). Year on year, the departmental median moved by +6.2%: a change to read with caution on fewer than a hundred sales, where a few large estates can shift the median. Over the more robust 2020-2025 period, 189 sales give a median of €4,417/ha for a median plot size of 2.6 ha.
| Indicator | Haute-Garonne (31) | Occitanie | France |
|---|---|---|---|
| Median price 2025 | €4,012/ha* | €3,333/ha | €4,936/ha |
| Average price 2025 | €4,482/ha* | €4,675/ha | €6,214/ha |
| Number of sales 2025 | 42 | 636 | 6,329 |
| Change in median 2024 → 2025 | +6.2%* | −8.2% | +1.9% |
| Median price 2020-2025 | €4,417/ha | €3,560/ha | €4,778/ha |
| Number of sales 2020-2025 | 189 | 3,690 | 35,100 |
Nationally, the price per hectare rises with size: the large properties that appeal to hunters sell for more per hectare than medium-sized woods.
| Size of forest sold (France, 2020-2025) | Median price | Number of sales |
|---|---|---|
| 10 to 20 ha | €4,010/ha | 3,161 |
| 20 to 50 ha | €5,330/ha | 1,850 |
| 50 to 100 ha | €6,810/ha | 581 |
| Over 100 ha | €7,361/ha | 320 |
Ponds trade at a very different level: with too few sales in Haute-Garonne, the benchmark is the regional median of €10,466/ha for ponds sold without buildings between 2020 and 2025.
On the listings side, 18 hunting properties are offered on ma-propriete.fr across France as of 2 October 2026, 2 of them in Occitanie.

The game bag records published by the French Biodiversity Agency (OFB) measure hunting pressure and, indirectly, the presence of big game. In Haute-Garonne, 2,187 red deer were taken in the 2024-2025 season, about 2% of the national total, alongside 5,872 roe deer and 6,682 wild boar.

West of the city, the forest of Bouconne remains the only large woodland close to Toulouse; the National Forests Office (ONF) manages most of it for the State, the rest belonging to communes and private owners. To the north-east, the forest of Buzet, in the commune of Buzet-sur-Tarn, is split between the departmental council and private owners: its oaks and cork oaks shelter wild boar and roe deer. Elsewhere, the cereal hills of the Lauragais and the Gascony slopes mostly offer copses and hedges suited to partridge, hare and pheasant.
Hunting close to a large city brings its own constraints: walkers, cyclists and riders use the woods, houses creep up to the woodland edge, and safe driven days call for rigorous organisation. Before buying, check how busy the wood is at weekends and how far it lies from the nearest homes.
Around Saint-Gaudens, the Comminges hills and the Petites Pyrénées combine oak woods, meadows and small valleys: foothill country for roe deer and wild boar, while across the department as a whole red deer hold an important place in the game bag. Higher up, the Luchon area and the Oô, Larboust and Oueil valleys are already high mountain country: beech and fir on the slopes, summer pastures above, and isard stalked under a cull plan with measured allocations. A large share of these mountain forests belongs to communes or to the State, so the private hunting estates on the market lie mainly in the valleys and the foothills.
The brown bear, reintroduced from 1996 at Melles in the Haut-Comminges, ranges through these mountains, so driven days there call for particular care. If isard are what draws you, also look at hunting grounds in Ariège, the neighbouring department where the species plays a larger part.
Haute-Garonne is ACCA country: since the Verdeille Act of 1964, almost all of its territory comes under approved communal hunting associations, and land below the opt-out threshold is automatically included. That threshold, set by law at 20 ha in a single block in the general case, can be raised by departmental rules and is much higher in the high mountains: have the one that applies to the property confirmed. Above it, an owner can take back exclusive use of the hunting rights by lodging an objection with the departmental federation, taking effect in line with the association’s five-year period. If the seller had withdrawn the land, ask how to keep it withdrawn after the sale, whereas anyone buying a small wood may apply to join the communal ACCA, on the area conditions set by its statutes.
Red deer, isard and roe deer are under the cull plan, and big game damage to Lauragais crops or foothill meadows is compensated by the departmental federation, funded by hunters. As for fencing, the act of 2 February 2023 targets the natural and forest zones defined in the local urban plan (PLU), which affects many communes around Toulouse: a fence there must be raised 30 cm above the ground, capped at 1.20 m and permeable to wildlife, and mesh put up in the thirty years before the act must be brought into compliance before 1 January 2027.
