A farmhouse for sale in Eure-et-Loir (28), a Beauce barn to convert or a Perche smallholding: the department combines the large arable farms of the Beauce plain with the more modest bocage buildings of the Perche. This page brings together the farmhouses, barns and mas for sale in Eure-et-Loir published on ma-propriete.fr: a Beauce farm block with a wheat barn, a Perche timber-framed longère, a farmhouse with stables and pasture, outbuildings ready for conversion into a gîte.
Below you will find the actual prices of the Eure-et-Loir rural market, an overview of where to look, from the Beauce to the Perche, 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 Eure-et-Loir (28) by type of municipality (cumulative sales from mid-2020 to 2025) and its change between 2021 and 2025.

| Peri-urban countryside (city catchment area) | €197,000 | €1,934/m² | -0.3% | 8,008 |
| Deep countryside (outside urban influence) | €141,000 | €1,487/m² | +4.1% | 4,522 |

In the Beauce, the farmhouse takes the form of an imposing farm block, a single building combining the house, a wheat barn and sheds around a closed courtyard, a legacy of intensive arable farming. In the Perche, in the west and south of the department, the scale changes: longères and manor houses with timber framing, often linked to breeding the Percheron horse, with stables and bocage pasture.
Beauce barns to convert, in limestone or brick, offer vast volumes but little of the bocage charm; those in the Perche, more modest in scale, sit within a landscape of hedgerows and pasture. A change of use remains the first condition for turning these farm buildings into a home or a gîte.
The Perche, around Nogent-le-Rotrou, Mortagne-au-Perche (just over the border in Orne) and Thiron-Gardais, has the widest choice of smallholdings and barns to renovate in a bocage setting. The Drouais area, around Dreux and Anet, benefits from its proximity to the Paris region. Around Chartres and its station, with direct trains to Paris-Montparnasse, Beauce farmhouses remain in demand despite the open plain landscape.
In the heart of the Beauce, around Châteaudun and Bonneval, the large farm blocks sell more affordably, as the area is less sought after for housing than for farming itself. In the Perche, by contrast, demand linked to horses and rural tourism pushes some areas, such as around Thiron-Gardais, clearly above the departmental average.
Check the building's permitted use under the local plan: the large Beauce barns, often placed in a strict agricultural zone because of the intensive farming around them, do not all qualify for conversion into housing. Check the roof (tile or slate depending on the area, with asbestos-cement sheets common on sheds), the timber frame structure and the drainage, which needs upgrading on most isolated sites.
If Beauce farmland is attached, a current farm lease and the pre-emption right of the Safer should always be checked, as this land remains highly sought after by arable farmers. In the Perche, examine the condition of the timber framing and the often high cost of restoring half-timbered longères.
