Looking for recreational land for sale in Tarn-et-Garonne (82) means covering a department shaped by the Garonne and the Aveyron, from the orchards of the valley to the white limestone hills of the Quercy and the wooded gorges. Former plum or Chasselas grape orchards, limestone hillsides planted with truffle oaks, Aveyron woodland make up much of the non-buildable supply. On this page, ma-propriete.fr gathers the listings of recreational land for sale in Tarn-et-Garonne: a former orchard, a Quercy hillside, Aveyron woodland with access.
You will find price benchmarks drawn from actual sales, a tour of the areas where these plots are concentrated and the precautions to take before buying in an agricultural or natural zone, particularly along the Garonne and the Aveyron. Before you plan anything, read our guide on how to turn agricultural land into recreational land: it explains what the planning rules really allow.
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 Tarn-et-Garonne (82), 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) | 113 | €7,301/ha | €4,458/ha – €12,529/ha | €5,307/ha |
| Woodland (€/ha) | 44 | €4,304/ha | €2,474/ha – €10,708/ha | €4,934/ha |
| Pond (€/m²) * | 313 | €2.54/m² | €1.03/m² – €6.90/m² | €2.54/m² |
Bare agricultural land is well above the national median (€5,307/ha), with the median price moving +29.5% between 2020 and 2025. Woodland trades below 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: €7,301/ha of bare land is €0.73/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.

In the Garonne valley, around Moissac and Castelsarrasin, the supply includes former plum and Chasselas grape orchards, flat and fertile plots, some still in production or recently cleared. The white Quercy, to the north-west around Lauzerte and Montaigu-de-Quercy, offers dry limestone hillsides planted with truffle oaks or open scrubland, marked out with dry-stone walls. Along the Aveyron, around Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val and Bruniquel, oak woods cling to the sides of the gorges, sometimes with direct access to the river, in a landscape that draws hikers as well as buyers.
The Lomagne, to the west around Beaumont-de-Lomagne, remains dominated by a large cereal plain where few small plots are available outside farming use. Genuine ponds are practically absent from the department's supply: the limestone terrain of the Quercy and the alluvial Garonne valley do not favour private standing water, unlike the rivers themselves, which are more present. A buyer set on a plot with a pond will most often need to widen the search to a neighbouring department.
The Garonne valley, from Moissac to Castelsarrasin and Montauban, holds most of the former orchards, with prices supported by the quality of the fertile soil and easy access from the Toulouse area. The white Quercy, around Lauzerte, Montaigu-de-Quercy and Molières, offers drier, more affordable hillsides, prized for their quiet and their long views over the causses. The Aveyron gorges, from Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val to Bruniquel and Montricoux, offer wooded slopes sought after for their setting, though often hard to reach and served only by narrow roads. The Lomagne, around Beaumont-de-Lomagne and Grisolles, offers large cereal-growing land, less suited to small recreational plots and better matched to a working farm than to a weekend retreat.
The most affordable areas lie in the white Quercy and the Lomagne hinterland, away from the main roads. Former orchards in the Garonne valley, particularly well exposed and close to Moissac or Montauban, along with Aveyron gorge woodland with river access, sell well above the departmental average, in a market that otherwise stays fairly calm.
The local planning document classifies most land as agricultural (A) or natural (N), where a cabin, a chalet or a light leisure dwelling cannot be installed freely. A former orchard may still have irrigation equipment or hail nets whose upkeep and status should be clarified before buying. Along the Garonne and the Aveyron, several areas are classified as flood zones, which limits any development, even minor. Also check access to the plot, especially in the Aveyron gorges, where tracks can be steep or subject to a right of way.
On land classified as agricultural, the SAFER land agency is particularly active in this orchard-growing department and may exercise its right of pre-emption, with a risk of the price being revised down if it significantly exceeds local land prices. Water and electricity are lacking on many isolated plots in the white Quercy. Finally, the banks of the Garonne and the Aveyron include Natura 2000 areas that regulate clearing and planting, and it is worth confirming the exact cadastral area before signing.
