Forêt de Carteresse
Provence-Alpes-Côte d'azur
/
Var
In the hinterland of Var, nestled between the Sainte-Baume and the Maures massif, the Carteresse forest is a 174-hectare Mediterranean oak forest that stretches continuously between the towns of Flassans-sur-Issole and Cabasse.
Set in gently rolling, stony, and luminous terrain, it is typical of the forest landscape of Green Provence: holm oak and downy oak, a few pines, scree slopes, ancient trails, and open clearings.
Its recent history, marked by the fire of 1963 and then by a long cycle of coppice cutting conducted until 2019, is now entering a phase of capitalization.
This property benefits from the following characteristics:
- A single block of 174 ha in the heart of Green Provence.
- Easy access from the A8 and departmental roads with a network of service roads and forest fire defense tracks. (DFCI)
- A Simple Management Plan approved, documented, and mapped
- An ongoing hunting lease.
- Property tax of 184 € per year.
- No residential or operational buildings are on the property, simplifying its management.
Hunting
The diversity of the Mediterranean cover and the tranquility of the massif make it a quality hunting area, particularly suitable for wild boar, deer, and a variety of small game.
The hunting rights are currently leased to a team attached to the territory, which expresses its desire to continue the lease after the sale.
The lease will therefore continue under the current conditions, unless otherwise decided by the parties.
For a purchaser wishing to manage the hunting themselves, a reorganization could be considered at the expiration of the current lease.
Key Takeaways
In a context marked by the search for tangible assets, the rarity of large forest estates in a single block, and the increasing attention to biodiversity and carbon storage issues, the Carteresse forest offers a rare opportunity in Provence: to acquire 174 hectares in a single block, free of buildings, with a secure management framework and favorable taxation.
It constitutes a capitalization asset, Carteresse is particularly suited to:
- A long-term heritage strategy, with a view to transmission
- A diversifying land investment approach, complementing financial assets
- A family or associative hunting project
- An investment approach focused on biodiversity, carbon, and Mediterranean resilience.
