A farmhouse for sale in Corse-du-Sud (2A), a stone sheepfold to convert or an agricultural estate with hectares of maquis and vines: the island has no tradition of the Provençal mas, but rather a granite agropastoral built heritage specific to its inland valleys. This page brings together the farmhouses, barns and mas for sale in Corse-du-Sud published on ma-propriete.fr: a stone sheepfold from the Sartenais, a farmhouse with vines in the Taravo valley, a former mill or barn to convert, a property with farmland and an olive grove.
Below you will find the actual prices of the Corse-du-Sud rural market, an overview of where to look, from the Alta Rocca to the Gulf of Valinco, and the points to check before buying a former farm building. If your project is tourism-related, our white paper on setting up a rural gîte will help you cost it.
There are no statistics dedicated to farmhouses and barns: a renovated farmhouse sells like a country house with outbuildings and land, whereas a bare barn or a farm to renovate often sells well below. The most useful benchmark therefore remains the price of country houses.

A departmental average hides large gaps. A smallholding to renovate, a restored longère with its outbuildings, a farmhouse on several hectares of land or a manor house with parkland do not sell at the same price, and the location matters as much as the building: coastline, tourist area, peri-urban countryside close to a job market or deep countryside. The table below shows the median price of country houses in Corse-du-Sud (2A) by type of municipality (cumulative sales from mid-2020 to 2025) and its change between 2021 and 2025.

In Corse-du-Sud, the mas in the Provençal sense does not exist: traditional rural buildings consist of sheepfolds built of granite or schist, isolated in the mountains, and of smaller farmhouses in cultivated valleys such as the Taravo or the Rizzanese. These low buildings, with narrow openings, served transhumant sheep and goat farming rather than large-scale mainland arable farming.
Farm outbuildings (sheepfold, storeroom, bread oven) are often arranged around a closed courtyard, together with a few hectares of terraced farmland planted with vines or olive trees, or left as grazed maquis. Turning a barn to convert or a sheepfold into a home or a gîte requires a change of use, often difficult to obtain on an island where agricultural land is tightly regulated.
The Alta Rocca, around Levie, Zonza and Sainte-Lucie-de-Tallano, has the widest choice of granite sheepfolds and farmhouses to renovate in a mountain setting. The Taravo valley, around Petreto-Bicchisano and Zicavo, offers agricultural properties with vines and olive trees, away from the coast. Around Sartène, the stone wine-growing farms of the Sartenais remain sought after for their heritage setting.
On the Gulf of Valinco, near Propriano, and on the south coast around Bonifacio and Porto-Vecchio, renovated former sheepfolds and farmhouses sell clearly above the departmental average, with the sea and Figari airport nearby playing a major role. Around Ajaccio, pressure on land severely limits the supply of available farm buildings.
Check the building's permitted use under the local plan or planning rules: in an agricultural zone, a sheepfold must be specifically identified before it can change use, which remains rarer than on the French mainland. Check the roof (stone slates or tiles, and sometimes asbestos-cement sheets on more recent storerooms), the timber frame and the drainage, often absent on isolated mountain buildings.
If farmland is attached, ask about any current farm lease and about the pre-emption right of the Corsican Safer. Also check access to water and electricity, sometimes limited on remote sites; renovating a granite sheepfold often represents a budget as large as the purchase itself.
On ma-propriete.fr, filter Corse-du-Sud farmhouses and farm buildings by budget, built area and land area, set up an email alert to be told of new listings, and extend your search to all farmhouses, barns and mas for sale in Corsica.
