A mas for sale in Gard (30), a garrigue farmhouse or a Cévennes barn to convert: the department ranges from the stone mas of the Uzège and the Costières to the schist farms of the Cévennes. This page brings together the farmhouses, barns and mas for sale in Gard published on ma-propriete.fr: a Provençal mas with an olive grove in the Uzège, a Cévennes schist farm with a chestnut grove, a wine-growing farmhouse in the Costières, a mas gardian close to the Camargue.
Below you will find the actual prices of the Gard rural market, an overview of where to look, from the Cévennes to the Gard side of the Camargue, 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.
How much does a country house cost in Gard (30)? According to DVF data (notarised sales) analysed by the ma-propriete.fr observatory, the median price of a country house in Gard (30) stood at €265,000 in 2025, with an average price of €279,110 and a median price of €2,584/m² of living space (1,532 house sales in rural municipalities over the year). The price range is wide: 10% of houses sold for less than €160,000 (floor price, 1st decile) and 10% for more than €420,000 (ceiling price, 9th decile). The typical country house here offers 109 m² of living space on an average plot of 2,883 m², i.e. around 0.3 ha.
This market is well above the regional median (Occitanie: €210,000) and well above the national median (€189,200). Since the second half of 2020, the median price has risen from €240,000 to €265,000, i.e. +10.4%; over one year (2024-2025) the change is -1.9%.

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 Gard (30) by type of municipality (cumulative sales from mid-2020 to 2025) and its change between 2021 and 2025.

| Inland tourist areas (hinterland, mountains) | €221,885 | €2,278/m² | -7.2% | 1,308 |
| Peri-urban countryside (city catchment area) | €273,000 | €2,575/m² | +5.6% | 5,089 |

In the garrigue and the Uzège, the Gard mas is built in limestone under a curved-tile roof, with narrow south-facing openings, a courtyard and often stables or a former agricultural shed. In the Cévennes, in the north-west of the department, the built style changes completely: a schist farmhouse with dry-stone terraces (bancels) planted with chestnut trees, very different from the plain mas.
Towards the Gard side of the Camargue, around Aigues-Mortes, you find the mas gardian, linked to breeding Camargue bulls and horses, with vast pasture and hectares of salt-marsh grassland. A barn to convert, whether from the Cévennes or the plain, can become a home or a gîte subject to a change of use approved under the local plan.
The Cévennes, around Alès, Le Vigan and Saint-Jean-du-Gard, have the widest choice of schist farms and barns to renovate in a hilly setting. The Uzège, around Uzès, and the Costières, around Beaucaire and Bellegarde, offer wine-growing and olive-growing mas built in limestone. The Bagnols-sur-Cèze area and the Cèze valley offer a balance between rural calm and access to the Rhône corridor.
Near Nîmes and its TGV station, and around Uzès, renovated mas sell clearly above the departmental average, with proximity to Provence pushing prices up. Deep in the Cévennes, around Saint-Ambroix or Génolhac, supply remains wider and more affordable, but access and sloping plots need attention.
Check the building's permitted use under the local plan: a mas or barn in an agricultural zone can only become a home if it is identified as eligible for a change of use. Check the roof (curved Mediterranean tiles, with asbestos-cement sheets common on more recent farm sheds), the timber frame and the drainage, often not connected to a mains system on isolated mas.
If farmland is attached, especially Costières vineyards or Cévennes chestnut groves, ask about any current farm lease and about the pre-emption right of the Safer. On mas gardians close to the Camargue, also check easements linked to wetlands; renovating a stone mas often represents a substantial budget.
On ma-propriete.fr, filter Gard mas and farmhouses 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 Occitanie.
