Buy & Sell Land

Investing in land in Russia offers a unique opportunity for international buyers seeking long-term asset growth, development potential, or private retreats in one of the world’s most geographically diverse countries. At Nazemla, we specialize in guiding foreign clients through the entire process of buying and selling land in Russia—from initial site selection and due diligence to legal registration and post-purchase support. Whether you’re looking to build a home, launch a commercial project, or acquire agricultural acreage, our bilingual team ensures every step is transparent, secure, and aligned with your goals.

Why Buy Land in Russia?

Russia’s vast territory includes everything from prime urban plots near Moscow to scenic countryside estates in the Caucasus and fertile farmland in southern regions like Krasnodar Krai. Unlike many Western markets, land prices remain relatively accessible, especially outside major city centers, while offering strong potential for appreciation as infrastructure expands. Additionally, the Russian government actively encourages investment in special economic zones (SEZs) and rural development programs, creating favorable conditions for foreign buyers.

Types of Land Available for Foreign Buyers

While Russian law permits foreigners to own most types of real estate, land ownership is subject to specific regulations based on location and intended use. Our team helps you navigate these nuances:

1. Residential Land (Individual Housing Construction – IZH)

Ideal for building a private home or dacha. These plots are typically located in suburban or rural settlements and come with access to utilities (water, electricity, gas). We verify zoning compliance, road access, and environmental restrictions before purchase.

2. Commercial & Industrial Land

Suitable for business parks, warehouses, retail spaces, or manufacturing facilities. Many regions offer tax incentives and simplified permitting for foreign investors in designated development zones.

3. Agricultural Land

Foreign individuals and companies cannot directly own agricultural land in Russia. However, you can:

• Lease it long-term (up to 49 years)
• Acquire it through a Russian-registered company (with legal guidance)
• Purchase non-agricultural land adjacent to farmland for mixed-use projects

⚠️ Important: Land near borders, military installations, or protected natural areas may be restricted. We conduct full legal audits to avoid such risks.

Our End-to-End Land Transaction Process

Step 1: Needs Assessment & Market Search

We begin by understanding your purpose (residence, investment, development), budget, and preferred region. Using our local network, we identify available plots that match your criteria.

Step 2: Due Diligence & Verification

We examine:

• Cadastral records (EGRN extract)
• Zoning classification (permitted use)
• Utility availability (electricity, water, sewage)
• Environmental and geological reports
• Encumbrances, liens, or third-party claims

Step 3: Legal Support & Contract Drafting

Our partner lawyers prepare bilingual purchase agreements, ensure compliance with Federal Law No. 101-FZ (on foreign ownership of land), and represent your interests during notarization.

Step 4: Registration & Ownership Transfer

We manage submission to Rosreestr (Russian Federal Service for State Registration), obtain your EGRN certificate, and assist with opening a Russian bank account if needed for payment.

Step 5: Post-Purchase Support

Need help with construction permits, utility connections, or property management? We provide ongoing advisory services to turn your land into a functional asset.
