Looking for recreational land for sale in Morbihan (56) means covering a department of bocage and moorland, between the Gulf of Morbihan, the Landes de Lanvaux and the inland forests around Camors and Quénécan. Meadows lined with banks and hillside woods make up most of the non-buildable supply, while ponds remain very rare in a territory more oriented towards its rivers and its coast. On this page, ma-propriete.fr gathers the listings of recreational land for sale in Morbihan: a bocage meadow, woodland with access, a plot in an agricultural or natural zone.
You will find price benchmarks drawn from actual sales, an overview of the areas where these plots are concentrated and the points to check before buying in an agricultural, natural or coastal zone. Before committing, read our guide on how to turn agricultural land into recreational land: it explains what local planning rules allow, and what they forbid.
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 Morbihan (56), 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) | 293 | €5,507/ha | €3,748/ha – €9,162/ha | €5,307/ha |
| Woodland (€/ha) | 85 | €4,922/ha | €2,208/ha – €9,209/ha | €4,934/ha |
| Pond (€/m²) * | 313 | €2.54/m² | €1.03/m² – €6.90/m² | €2.54/m² |
Bare agricultural land is close to the national median (€5,307/ha), with the median price moving +4.4% between 2020 and 2025. Woodland trades close to 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: €5,507/ha of bare land is €0.55/m², against €2.54/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.

Morbihan is first and foremost bocage country, where hay meadows lined with hedges and banks make up most of the supply of non-constructible land, at prices close to the French median. The Landes de Lanvaux, a line of hills crossing the department from east to west, add rougher moorland and hillside woods, while the forests of Camors and Quénécan, around Lac de Guerlédan, offer more extensive beech and oak forest blocks.
Genuine ponds are practically absent from the Morbihan market: the department's water features are mostly reservoirs such as Lac de Guerlédan, rarely broken up into private plots for sale. A buyer looking for a plot with a pond will most often need to look towards neighbouring Ille-et-Vilaine, far better supplied. This scarcity leads some Morbihan buyers to look towards neighbouring Ille-et-Vilaine to find a plot with a genuine pond.
Around the Gulf of Morbihan, between Vannes and Auray, pressure on land is high and bare plots scarce, under the combined effect of the coastline and the Loi Littoral. The Landes de Lanvaux, towards Josselin and Malestroit, offer more accessible meadows and woods, away from the coast. The Pontivy area, in the centre of the department, and the edges of Lac de Guerlédan add valley woods and meadows. Lorient and its urban area concentrate demand without offering much bare land. The edges of Lac de Guerlédan, on the border with Côtes-d'Armor, add a few hillside woods prized for their wooded setting.
The most affordable areas lie inland, in the Landes de Lanvaux and the Ploërmel area, away from coastal pressure. Plots close to the Gulf of Morbihan and the Atlantic coast sell well above the departmental average. These hills, still little urbanised, offer a compromise between rural quiet and relative proximity to the coastal towns.
In an agricultural (A) or natural (N) zone, new building remains in principle prohibited, and a cabin, a chalet or a light leisure dwelling should be checked against the local planning document. In coastal communes, the Loi Littoral strongly restricts building, even light structures, close to the shoreline, a major issue around the Gulf of Morbihan. Long-term parking of a caravan or a mobile home is also regulated. These checks apply as much near the Gulf of Morbihan as further inland.
Also check access to the plot (rural track, right of way, landlocked parcel) and the presence of water and electricity, rare outside villages. On land classified as agricultural, the SAFER land agency may exercise its right of pre-emption, with a risk of a lower price being set if the asking price strays from local land values. Finally, have the boundaries and exact cadastral area checked. particularly for plots located on a commune boundary.
