A farmhouse for sale in Côte-d'Or (21), a barn to convert or a Burgundy farmhouse with a few hectares of land: this department, split between vineyards, the Châtillonnais plateau and the Auxois farmland, holds a remarkably consistent stock of Burgundy-stone farm buildings. This page brings together the farmhouses, barns and mas for sale in Côte-d'Or published on ma-propriete.fr: a limestone block farmhouse, a tiled barn to convert, a former Charolais cattle farm, buildings close to the vineyard.
Below you will find the actual prices of the Côte-d'Or rural market, an overview of where to look, from the Châtillonnais to the Auxois, 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 Côte-d'Or (21) by type of municipality (cumulative sales from mid-2020 to 2025) and its change between 2021 and 2025.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Inland tourist areas (hinterland, mountains) | €126,000 | €1,205/m² | +31.2% | 437 |
| Peri-urban countryside (city catchment area) | €220,000 | €2,044/m² | +3.7% | 6,973 |
| Deep countryside (outside urban influence) | €134,450 | €1,271/m² | +11.4% | 2,924 |

In Côte-d'Or, the farmhouse is most often a single block building, with the dwelling, cowshed and barn under one roofline, built of local limestone and covered with flat or interlocking tiles. In the Auxois, a land of Charolais cattle, buildings tend to be larger, with big storage sheds. There is no mas in Côte-d'Or: the term does not belong to the local Burgundy vocabulary.
Once freed of their farming use, these buildings lend themselves to conversion into a home or gîtes, subject to the local plan's zoning. The attached land, from a few hectares to wide grazing pasture, suits horses, a cattle herd or a permaculture project in a continental climate.
The Châtillonnais, around Châtillon-sur-Seine, Montigny-sur-Aube and the source of the Seine, offers a wide and affordable choice of farms to renovate. The Auxois, around Semur-en-Auxois, Montbard and Saulieu, has typical hedgerow-country livestock buildings. Around Pouilly-en-Auxois and the Burgundy canal, supply also stays strong. To the south, around Nolay and the Côte, buildings sit closer to the vineyard.
Near Dijon and Beaune, farmhouses are scarcer and trade well above the departmental average, especially close to the Côte de Nuits or Côte de Beaune vineyards. In the more remote Châtillonnais, further from economic hubs, supply remains more affordable.
Check the buildings' permitted use under the local plan: a barn classified in an agricultural zone can only be converted into a home if the regulations explicitly allow it. Inspect the roof (tile, but also asbestos-cement on livestock sheds), the timber frame and the drainage, often needing an overhaul on older farms.
If farmland comes with the buildings, ask about any current farm lease and about the pre-emption right of the Safer, active in this livestock and arable department. Finally, cost the renovation with care: restoring a large Burgundy block farmhouse can represent a budget comparable to the purchase itself.
