More about the area
Soil & gardening
Coverage shown for the commune. Add the exact address to check the actual building.
-
Likely topsoil: Clay loam. Topsoil pH ~7.1, organic carbon 70 g/kg.
-
Recent agricultural use within ~100 m: Permanent pasture (2024).
Soil can vary significantly within 100 m. For vegetable growing, a local soil test (pH, organic matter, NPK, and heavy metals if the site borders a road or former vineyard or orchard) typically costs €50 to €150 at a French agronomy lab such as Auréa, LCA, or SADEF. We recommend one before planting edibles.

Wealth tax kicks in above €1.3M
If your French property (or properties combined) is worth more than €1.3M on 1 January, France charges an annual wealth tax of 0.5% to 1.5% on the amount above that. Foreign owners only count their French property, not assets elsewhere.
