A farmhouse for sale in Indre-et-Loire (37), farmhouse built of tuffeau stone in the Touraine style, or a barn to convert in local stone, with a few hectares of vines or farmland: this department, between the Loire river and southern Touraine, keeps a good-quality stock of farm buildings, often built in local stone. This page brings together the farmhouses, barns and mas for sale in Indre-et-Loire published on ma-propriete.fr: tuffeau-stone farmhouses, barns to restore with outbuildings, former tenant farms with land and pasture.
Below you will find the actual prices of the Touraine rural market, an overview of where to look, from the Chinon area to the Loches area, and the points to check before buying a former farm building. For a tourism project, 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 Touraine farmhouse stands out for its use of tuffeau, the characteristic white limestone of the Loire valley, under a slate roof, paired with a barn and sometimes a cellar cut into the hillside. In the more rural Loches and southern Touraine areas, farms are often more modest but come with attractive farm outbuildings. There are no mas in Indre-et-Loire: the word has no local use here.
These buildings lend themselves to conversion into a home or into gîtes, subject to the local planning zoning, and a vaulted cellar is a valued feature for wine storage or tourism use. The adjoining farmland, from a few hectares of vines, pasture or grain fields, can support a horse-keeping project or permaculture depending on the site.
The Chinon area, around Chinon and l'Île-Bouchard, and the Loches area, towards Loches and Preuilly-sur-Claise, hold most of the supply of farms and barns to renovate, amid vineyards and woodland. The Bléré area and the Cher valley also offer farm complexes with stone outbuildings.
Near Tours and its urban area, as well as along the Loire towards Amboise, renovated farms become scarce and sell well above the department average. Towards Château-Renault to the north, and the more rural southern Touraine, the market stays more affordable.
Check the building's permitted use: in an agricultural zone under the local plan, a barn can only be converted into housing if it is listed among the buildings eligible for a change of use. Examine the roof (slate, but also asbestos-cement on sheds), the timber frame, the drainage and, where a cellar exists, the stability of the hillside above it.
If vines or land are included, ask about any current farm lease and about the pre-emption right of the Safer. Finally, cost the renovation precisely: tuffeau-stone buildings need regular upkeep of the stonework, a cost that adds to that of the timber frame and drainage.
