You wish to buy vineyards? www.ma-propriete.fonciere.fr is the advertisement portal that will allow you to buy free or occupied vineyards in all regions and departments of France.
You will find vines for sale free of rental. These are vineyard plots sold either by a winegrower or by a vineyard owner after the lease has been terminated by his farmer. You can therefore exploit these vines or rent them to a new winegrower.
You will also find leased vineyards. These are vineyard plots that are sold by a winegrower or owner with a rural lease. By buying these vineyard plots, you take over the existing lease and you will receive the rent paid by the farmer. It should be noted that unless the farmer agrees, the terms of the lease will continue without the possibility of modifying the duration of the lease or the amount of the rent.
If you rent these vineyard plots under a long-term lease, you may benefit from tax advantages. Indeed, you can then benefit from an allowance on the value of your vines in the context of an inheritance, a donation or for the purposes of the Impôt sur la Fortune Immobilière. Agricultural land, including vines, is in fact exempt from tax up to 75% of its value when it does not exceed 101,897 euros (article 793 paragraph 2 of the general tax code). Above this amount, the exemption is 50% of their value.
In order to be able to farm the vines you are going to buy yourself, you will need to obtain an authorisation to farm under the Contrôle des Structures. This authorisation is required above a reference area that varies in each department. The SAFER, which has a right of pre-emption on sales of agricultural property, will also examine your project after notification by the notary. If the SAFER considers that another buyer may have priority over your project, it can block your project by pre-empting the sale of the vines within a maximum of 2 months after the notification.
