Green-Acres Scraper — French Country Home & Character Property Listings

Scrape real estate listings from green-acres.fr, the French portal specialized in country homes, longères, manoirs, moulins and châteaux — built specifically for international buyers looking for a second home or a move to rural France. The site publishes 30+ language variants and is one of the main sources agencies use to reach foreign buyers.

This scraper searches by French department and returns structured listing data: price, price per m², living surface, land size, room count, energy grade, photos and agency contact details. No login, no cookies, no browser.

What you get

• Prices in EUR, always forced to EUR regardless of your proxy's exit country (see the currency note below)
• Property details: living surface, land surface (hectares converted to m²), room count
• Location: city and department, straight from the listing
• Energy data: DPE energy grade and greenhouse gas (GES) grade (A–G), when the description states them
• Photos: all photo URLs shown on the listing card
• Agency name and phone number when the listing displays one
• Direct URL to every listing on green-acres.fr

Use cases

• Market research on French country and character properties
• Price monitoring for a specific department or budget range
• Feeding property data into valuation or relocation-planning tools
• Tracking new listings of a given type (houses, land, castles/manors) across a region
• Building a comparison dataset alongside other French real-estate portals (Bien'ici, SeLoger)

Input

Field	Type	Description
department	string	French department, by name (Dordogne, Gironde, Alpes-Maritimes) or INSEE code (24, 75, 2a). Leave empty for a nationwide search. Default: Dordogne
propertyCategory	string	all (default), house, apartment, land, castle, or business
minPrice / maxPrice	integer	Optional price bounds in EUR
maxResults	integer	Maximum listings to return. Default: 100
proxyConfiguration	object	Proxy settings. Default: Apify automatic proxy

Example input:

{
    "department": "Dordogne",
    "propertyCategory": "house",
    "maxPrice": 500000,
    "maxResults": 100
}

Output

One dataset item per listing. Real sample from a live run:

{
    "id": "Acak9kzw51yebyyc",
    "title": "Propriété authentiquement périgourdine nichée dans un environnement protégé - Secteur Bergerac / Monpazier",
    "propertyCategory": "all",
    "price": 950000,
    "currency": "EUR",
    "pricePerSqm": 1727,
    "surface": 550,
    "landSurface": 90000,
    "rooms": 12,
    "city": "Beaumont-du-Périgord",
    "department": "Dordogne",
    "energyGrade": "D",
    "gasGrade": "B",
    "description": "Cet ancien moulin, hors d'usage depuis 1910, s'étend sur 9 hectares...",
    "photoCount": 9,
    "photos": [
        "https://lb1.green-acres.com/1452019a/Acak9kzw51yebyyc/miniPhotos/Acak9kzw51yebyyc_1.jpg"
    ],
    "agencyName": "PRESTANT Luxury Realty",
    "phone": "+33 5 25 55 50 73",
    "url": "https://www.green-acres.fr/fr/properties/immobilier/beaumont-du-perigord/Acak9kzw51yebyyc.htm",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-09-11T10:12:00.000Z"
}

landSurface is always in m² — listings shown in hectares on the site are converted (9,0 hectares → 90000). energyGrade/gasGrade are null when the listing description doesn't state a DPE/GES rating (common on older or private listings). agencyName is null for a small share of direct/private listings.

A note on currency

Green-Acres detects the visitor's IP and can silently show prices converted to a different currency (e.g. USD) for non-French exit IPs — same listing, same ID, a different number. This scraper always forces the site's own currency=EUR parameter so every price is EUR regardless of which Apify proxy IP the run happens to use. You never need to set a country-specific proxy for correct pricing.

How to scrape Green-Acres data

1. Open the Green-Acres Scraper on Apify
2. Enter a French department (name or code — "Dordogne", "Gironde", "24" all work)
3. Optionally narrow down by property category and price range
4. Set how many listings you want and click Start
5. Download the results as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the dataset tab

You can also run it programmatically via the Apify API or schedule it to track a department over time:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/jelledesramaults~green-acres-scraper/runs?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -d '{"department": "Gironde", "propertyCategory": "house", "maxResults": 200}'

Large searches

Green-Acres caps each filter combination at 480 displayable results (20 pages of 24). When your search matches more than that, the scraper automatically splits the search into price bands and pages each band separately, deduplicating on listing ID, the same approach used in our Bien'ici scraper. You can request thousands of listings from a single run without doing anything special.

Cost estimate

This actor is billed $0.005 per run plus $0.002 per result — 1,000 results cost about $2.01. Usage cost only settles once a run reports SUCCEEDED — reading a dataset mid-run will show a cost far below the real total.

Limitations

• Free-text city search is not supported in this version — only French department (name or INSEE code). A follow-up city-level version is possible if there's demand.
• Overseas French departments (Guadeloupe, Martinique, Réunion, etc.) are not supported — Green-Acres routes them through a separate country picker, not department codes.
• No bedroom count field — the site itself only publishes total room count ("pièces"), not a separate bedroom figure.
• Data is scraped from the public website and may change without notice.
• Respect the website's terms of service and use responsibly.

Maintained by Studio Amba

We run 700+ scrapers for European websites, and the priority is keeping every one of them working. Automated runs test this actor against the live site and verify the output is complete. When the website changes, the scraper usually gets repaired the same day, without you having to report anything. Questions and issues go straight to the people who built it, and most get an answer the same day.

Need this data on a schedule, or a custom version?

We run this scraper as a managed service for businesses: scheduled runs, deduplication, delta detection, and delivery to your inbox, Google Sheets, or API, maintenance included. We can also build a custom version with your exact fields and filters, or combine multiple sources into one feed.
