Grand-Est  /  Bas-Rhin

In the heart of Bas-Rhin, on the forested slopes of the Bruche Valley, the forests of Bournique and Schwartzenberg span over 210 hectares. They form a coherent, productive, and well-managed unit. Primarily composed of high-quality conifers — Douglas firs, spruces, firs — as well as beautiful deciduous and mixed stands, this forest area represents a solid and structured forest heritage. Thanks to varied topography, a good access network, favorable forest soils, and a diversity of age classes in the stands, these forests combine immediate forestry profitability (harvestable volumes, growing young plantations) and long-term heritage value. Additionally, it includes a recognized hunting area, integrated into the larger Guirbaden forest, with good hunting potential and management.This rare forest ensemble on the market combines accessibility, silvicultural quality, economic potential, and management interest. The Forest The property forms a compact entity of two close and complementary holdings. It is predominantly composed of mature conifer stands of very high quality. These are mainly located in the Bournique massif and consist of spruce, fir, but also pine.The Schwartzenberg massif mainly consists of young conifer stands with a significant proportion of Douglas fir, which is by far the most productive species. There are also some pockets of deciduous trees and non-forested areas that could be converted into conifer stands or maintained as is for diversification purposes.

This is a very rare property on the market. Its size, geographical location, absence of nuisances, and its productivity in high-quality conifers are its key assets. The well-followed silviculture has led the forest to a development level that allows for the harvesting of priority stands in the coming years, while having ensured the renewal in Douglas fir in particular. This property has always been a territory of high-quality hunting and the mastery of game management by the owner is able to adapt to the desires of its future owner.  With its balanced silvicultural structure, regular income, long-term valorization potential, and strategic location, the Bournique and Schwartzenberg forest constitutes a rare opportunity for a heritage investor or a sustainable management actor.
