Larch woodland valuation in France

What makes this stand different

European, Japanese and hybrid larches are not interchangeable. They need suitable water supply and tending; they are not a universal substitute for Douglas or spruce. A 2022 DSF report documents Phytophthora ramorum on Japanese larch in Brittany. CNPF · 2020-04 · Ministère de l’Agriculture / DSF · 2022-08

Questions that change the assessment

1. Which species, hybrid and origin were planted?

2. Can slope and extraction distance support a viable harvest?

3. Do crown, branch or bark symptoms require a health inspection?

Topography matters alongside visible tracks. On site, check working access, harvesting conditions and legal access rights.

Documents to request before an offer

Plant origin and exact species; log-quality and access inventory; a local health assessment. Request dated documents tied to the correct parcels. Aerial imagery shows canopy, not internal timber defects or legal access rights.

From an average price to this property

An average describes completed sales, not the price of this woodland. Start with the actual scope, access, terrain, future works and comparable transactions. Explore national and departmental benchmarks. Standing timber prices in €/m³ concern a different market. When woodland sales include trees, do not add their value again.
