The sale price of farmland in Auvergne Rhône Alpes

Updated on 25 July 2023

As every year, we update our articles on the sale prices of farmland and meadows in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

These figures have been provided since 2011 for vacant land and since 2012 for rented land.

The price of undeveloped land has risen by 3.1% to €4,780/ha in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes in 2022. However, the figures vary widely from one département to another: +12% in Savoie and -11% in Drôme, for example.

The price of rented land is also up, by 1.8% to €3,870.

The volume of transactions and surface areas sold are also up sharply (+5.8%).

Data source : The data used in this article comes from statistics published by the SAFER relating to plots larger than 70 ares (7,000 m² or 0.70 hectare), which have been statistically processed by Agreste (the Ministry of Agriculture's statistical service) and then published in the Journal Officiel in the Barème indicatif de la valeur vénale moyenne des terres agricoles en 2022.

As mentioned, these market prices are purely indicative and in no way oblige you to buy or sell at the rates indicated. The details of the minimum and maximum prices shown also show that prices generally vary widely. However, they should be taken into account to avoid any pre-emption with a price revision by the SAFER.

Farmland sale prices by département in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region

Reading these statistics at the level of each département in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region provides a more accurate picture. Prices are grouped by small agricultural region, with an average price and minimum and maximum prices. 

The agricultural regions at the level of each département correspond to areas with common characteristics, making it possible to produce consistent statistics based on homogeneous data.

The sale price of vacant farmland

The statistics on the sale price of vacant farmland in the départements of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region concern sales of land that is not rented on the day of the sale. The purchaser of the parcels of land may then, subject to obtaining authorisation to farm under the Control of Structures, either farm the land himself as part of an installation on a farm or lease it to a farmer.

The sale price of rented farmland

The statistics on the sale price of rented farmland in the départements of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region concern sales of rented land. The buyer may either be the farmer himself, or a landowner who will continue to rent the land to the farmer.

In some départements, the number of transactions involving this type of land is insufficient to provide reliable statistics.

The price of rented farmland is generally lower than the price of freehold land, with discounts varying greatly from one département and region to another, and can be as high as 30%.

See our article on the price of rented farmland in France since 2012 for information on discounts and the profitability of investing in rented farmland.

Our articles on farmland prices in France

We present comprehensive statistics on land prices.

We analyse land prices at the time of publication of the SAFER's official figures:

In addition to these annual statistics, we publish articles analysing changes in land prices over much longer periods: 

This latest series presents more detailed prices for each region since 1999:

Please contact us if you need any help interpreting these figures.

These figures are updated every year following publication by Agreste (the Ministry of Agriculture's statistics department) of the official land price figures, which are derived from SAFER statistics.
