Yonne
Located 40 minutes from Auxerre, 20 minutes from Sens, and 1h30 from Paris, the Bois des Bazins spans nearly 40 hectares across three closely situated plots.
In the heart of the natural region of Gâtinais, the Bazins woods form a coherent and human-sized forest unit, in an environment combining agricultural production and recognized forest massifs for the production of quality wood.
Beyond its oak production potential and geographical location, this property has the following characteristics:
- A massif with a stock of quality wood, having benefited from a comprehensive inventory;
- A land unit of reasonable and coherent size, compact in shape, close to communication routes;
- An attractive hunting territory, free of lease;

The Stands
In the fall of 2025, a tree-by-tree inventory was conducted, by diameter class, over the entire forest area, totaling 34 hectares. It allows for a precise evaluation of the composition, structure, and volume of the existing stands.
- The total volume of oak timber is estimated at 2,794 m3, with an average volume of 1.2 m3;
- The proportion of oak suitable for quality veneer/plot is estimated at 8%;
- The volume of miscellaneous timber (ash, dry oak, and cherry) amounts to 200 m³ of timber;
- The volume of firewood, mainly corresponding to the crowns of deciduous trees, is estimated at 5,700 steres.
The Pond
In the southern estate, the Rosiers pond covers a water surface of about 4 hectares. Its filling is ensured by a ditch that runs through the agricultural plain to the East.The existence of this structure is confirmed on the 19th-century military map.
Hunting
Located in a heavily wooded environment, the property occupies a prime spot for hunting. Large game, mainly represented by deer and wild boar, is naturally very present in this sector of the massif.
The current tenants are open to continuing the cooperation already in place with the future owner.
Key Takeaways:
The Bazins woods form a beautiful forest property dominated by oak, the quintessential species of Burgundy:- The significant volume of oak is in full capitalization phase.
- Improvement cuts will generate regular income while enhancing the quality of the forest heritage.
Moreover, this property is located in a dynamic forest region, close to major communication routes and near the sawmills and veneer mills of Burgundy.
The current structure of the stands is particularly well-suited to the implementation of gentle silviculture, such as Continuous Cover Mixed Forestry, which will maximize the individual value gain of the woods. The medium resinous woods and large oak woods, which are the most represented, ensure very promising prospects for value appreciation due to their high and exponential productivity growth.
This forest will not escape the upward trend affecting forest prices in France, which should result in a steady appreciation of the initial investment. The increasing demand for wood, driven by environmental issues, offers interesting long-term prospects.
