A land of contrasts and traditions in the heart of Burgundy
The Saône-et-Loire department is a prime destination for anyone who loves wide open spaces, authenticity, and heritage. Located in the south of the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region, this area offers incredible landscape diversity that appeals to both those looking for a second home and those wishing to change their lifestyle and settle in the countryside.
In this text, we guide you through the specifics of the rural real estate market in this department and explain how our portal, ma-propriete.fr , facilitates your procedures, whether you are a seller or a buyer.
Saône-et-Loire is a vast department, the largest in the region, which explains the wide variety of properties available. Rural real estate is abundant, reflecting the region's agricultural and winemaking history. If you're looking for unspoiled Burgundy countryside , you've come to the right place.
The department is divided into several natural micro-regions, each with its own architectural and landscape identity, influencing the type of rural housing available:
Although predominantly rural, the department (71) is structured around dynamic towns such as Chalon-sur-Saône, Mâcon (the prefecture), Le Creusot, Montceau-les-Mines, Autun, and Louhans. These urban centers guarantee access to services while allowing for peaceful living just a few kilometers away. The presence of the A6 motorway and the TGV high-speed rail line places this region within reasonable distance of Paris and Lyon, enhancing its appeal for those looking to buy a country home .
The market is characterized by prices that are still attractive compared to other regions of France. Whether you're looking for a characterful, move-in ready home or a ruin to restore for a complete project, the selection is plentiful. Those who appreciate authenticity will be delighted by the frequent presence of original beams , terracotta tiles, and period fireplaces.
Are you planning to buy a farm or estate in the region? Ma-propriete.fr provides you with powerful tools to find the perfect property without wasting time.
Unlike general real estate websites, our search engine is designed for the specific needs of rural areas. You can filter listings not only by budget or location, but also by land size (in hectares or ares). This is essential if you're looking for a house with land to keep horses or develop a market gardening business.
Our precise categorization allows you to directly target the type of property you are looking for:
The market for quality rural properties can be fast-moving. To be the first to know, we recommend setting up personalized email alerts. As soon as a farmhouse in Bresse or a property in the Charolais region matching your criteria is listed, you will receive a notification.
Furthermore, each listing offers direct contact with the seller, whether a private individual or a real estate professional. Geolocation of the listings (depending on the seller's choice) also allows you to check if the property is secluded , private , or close to amenities—criteria often crucial for nature lovers.
Owners, if you own a country house or any other rural property in Saône-et-Loire, ma-propriete.fr is the ideal showcase to enhance your property to a qualified audience.
Our portal attracts a significant number of visitors each month specifically searching for properties outside major urban areas. By publishing your listing with us, you directly reach potential buyers seeking the charm of exposed stone , a large plot of land , or outbuildings to renovate.
We know that renovation doesn't scare our audience; thus, even a farm for sale requiring major work will find its audience, as will a turnkey property with a landscaped garden .
Selling a rural property requires a specific approach. We offer great flexibility in creating your listing:
Our knowledge of the rural market allows us to highlight assets that others neglect: soil quality, the presence of wells, the forest environment or agricultural potential.
