Looking for recreational land for sale in Bas-Rhin (67) means looking between the Alsace vineyards, the Ried plain along the Rhine and the Haguenau forest, the largest lowland state forest in France: wet meadows, oak and hornbeam woods, hedge-lined plots of the Alsace bossue to the west. On this page, ma-propriete.fr gathers the listings of recreational land for sale in Bas-Rhin: an enclosed meadow, hunting woodland, a plot to develop, land by a riverbank.
You will find an overview of the areas where woods, meadows and wetlands are concentrated, and the points to check before buying a parcel in an agricultural or natural zone; in Bas-Rhin, governed by the local Alsace-Moselle law, the price benchmarks shown on this page are those of Grand Est. Before any viewing, go through our guide on how to turn agricultural land into recreational land: it sums up what the PLU tolerates, what it forbids and the formalities to expect.
There is no such thing as a "recreational land price" in the French notarial records: the DVF database records sales of agricultural land, woodland and ponds, and a recreational plot is priced against these three benchmarks, higher or lower depending on what it adds (vehicle access, a water point, fencing, an existing shelter, a village nearby). The table below gives, for each benchmark, the sales recorded in 2025 in the Grand Est region, the median price and the range between the first decile (floor) and the ninth decile (ceiling), with the national figure for comparison.
| DVF 2025 benchmark | Sales | Median price | Range (P10 – P90) | France median |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bare agricultural land (€/ha) | 1,233 | €5,611/ha | €3,151/ha – €14,830/ha | €5,307/ha |
| Woodland (€/ha) | 528 | €5,505/ha | €2,995/ha – €11,800/ha | €4,934/ha |
| Pond (€/m²) | 35 | €3.19/m² | €1.74/m² – €8.63/m² | €2.54/m² |
Bare agricultural land is above the national median (€5,307/ha), with the median price moving +0.5% between 2020 and 2025. Woodland trades above the national benchmark (€4,934/ha), and a pond, a much rarer asset, is valued per square metre of water and banks. To compare a listing, bring everything back to the square metre: €5,611/ha of bare land is €0.56/m², against €3.19/m² for a pond. Recreational land, almost always classified as an agricultural or natural zone, generally sells slightly above bare agricultural land; but it usually remains subject to the SAFER land agency's right of pre-emption, and the SAFER may pre-empt with a downward price revision if the price is excessive compared with local land prices. These benchmarks therefore also help you avoid paying a price the SAFER would challenge.

The Ried, a wet plain running along the Rhine, offers flood-prone meadows and natural grassland typical of the Alsace plain, framed by rows of willows and poplars. The Haguenau forest, north of Strasbourg, the largest lowland state forest in France, offers large stands of oak and hornbeam sought after for hunting. To the west, the Alsace bossue, around Sarre-Union and Drulingen, stands apart from the rest of the department with its hedge-lined hills and grazing meadows, closer to the landscapes of Lorraine.
The wetlands of the Ried and the banks of the Vosges rivers are subject to strong environmental protections, which limits plots genuinely available with a water point. Land sold with an existing cabin is found mainly at the edge of the Haguenau forest and in the sub-Vosges hills west of Saverne.
The Ried, between Strasbourg and Sélestat, offers wet meadows along the Rhine and the Ill, made more accessible by the A35 motorway. The Haguenau forest, to the north, offers large hunting woodland well served by road towards Haguenau and Wissembourg. To the west, the Vosges du Nord, around Niederbronn-les-Bains and La Petite-Pierre, offer conifer woods in a more marked sandstone relief. Further south-west, the Alsace bossue, towards Sarre-Union, offers meadows and farmland in a rolling landscape close to Moselle.
Plots close to Strasbourg and the Ried plain are the most sought after, owing to high population density and proximity to road links. The Alsace bossue and the Vosges du Nord, more rural and further from the Strasbourg conurbation, mainly attract those looking for peace and quiet and large wooded areas.
In an agricultural (A) or natural (N) zone, any new building is in principle prohibited: a cabin, a chalet or a light leisure dwelling cannot be installed freely, and parking a caravan or a mobile home for an extended period is regulated. An existing shelter is only an asset if it was properly authorised; otherwise it may have to be removed. In the Ried and along the Rhine, always check the flood-zone classification and any protections linked to Natura 2000.
In Bas-Rhin, land registration follows the Livre foncier local land register rather than the standard French land registry: check with the competent land registration office to confirm the exact status of the plot. On agricultural parcels, the SAFER land agency may exercise its right of pre-emption. Also ask for the exact cadastral area and whether the boundaries have been surveyed, and check access to the plot (rural track, right of way). Because DVF price data does not cover Bas-Rhin under the Livre foncier system, comparing a listing against recent regional sales through ma-propriete.fr remains the most reliable way to judge whether the asking price is reasonable for a plot of that size and location.
The listings of recreational land in Bas-Rhin published on ma-propriete.fr come from private sellers, estate agents and notaries. Filter by area, price and the presence of woodland, then set up an e-mail alert to be notified of new plots. You can also widen your search to recreational land for sale in Grand Est.
