A farmhouse for sale in Landes (40), a Gascon farmhouse or a smallholding tucked into a wooded airial clearing: this department, split between pine forest, the farming country of Chalosse and the coastal Marensin area, offers farm buildings that vary sharply from one area to another. This page brings together the farmhouses, barns and mas for sale in Landes published on ma-propriete.fr: a Landes borde to restore, a Chalosse farmhouse with outbuildings, a farm shed with land, a former holding with a cowshed and stables. The state of the roof, access to utilities and proximity to the ocean or the forest are among the criteria that most set listings apart from one another.
Below you will find the actual prices of the Landes rural market, an overview of where to look, from Chalosse to the Born area, 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. Local town halls and notaries are used to files combining farm buildings and private forest, a context worth understanding before any negotiation.
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 Landes (40)? According to DVF data (notarised sales) analysed by the ma-propriete.fr observatory, the median price of a country house in Landes (40) stood at €236,758 in 2025, with an average price of €253,532 and a median price of €2,250/m² of living space (2,208 house sales in rural municipalities over the year).

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 Landes (40) by type of municipality (cumulative sales from mid-2020 to 2025) and its change between 2021 and 2025.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tourist coastline | €316,000 | €3,243/m² | +2.6% | 997 |
| Residential coastline | €365,000 | €3,679/m² | -1.9% | 475 |
| Inland tourist areas (hinterland, mountains) | €300,000 | €3,039/m² | +9.9% | 496 |
| Peri-urban countryside (city catchment area) | €220,000 | €2,045/m² | +11.9% | 7,010 |

In the pine forest, the traditional farmhouse takes the form of the borde, a low timber-and-cob building set in an airial, the shaded oak clearing that once organised pastoral life. In Chalosse, to the south, farms are heavier, built of stone, with a cowshed, stables and a maize shed grouped around a yard. Mas and bastide are not part of the local vocabulary here, those terms remaining tied to Provence and Languedoc.
Timber-framed barns in the Born area and old tenant farms in Tursan complete the picture. A Landes barn lends itself well to a gîte or an equestrian project, subject to a change of use approved by the town hall; the adjoining farmland, from a few hectares to large wooded plots, can also support a permaculture project in Chalosse, a district known for market gardening. Old wicker stores and pigsties, often kept as outbuildings, add character to these groups without adding extra living space.
Around Mont-de-Marsan, Saint-Sever and in Tursan, the choice of farms and barns to renovate remains the widest, backed by a still-active mixed-farming economy. In Chalosse, towards Hagetmau, Montfort-en-Chalosse and the Adour valley, stone-and-pebble farmhouses trade at more affordable levels than on the coast. The Mugron area and the Marsan complete this dense rural zone.
Towards Dax and the Adour valley, the spa town and the A63 motorway push prices up; on the silver coast, from Mimizan to Soustons, wooded farmhouses are rare and sought after for their forest setting. The Born area, between lakes and pine forest, remains a niche market clearly pricier than the interior of the department. Between the two, the Roquefort and Villeneuve-de-Marsan area offers an interesting middle ground between accessibility and small-town life.
Check the registered permitted use of the building: in an agricultural zoning area, a barn or shed can only be converted into a home if it appears on the list of buildings eligible for a change of use. Check the roof (canal tiles or asbestos-cement sheets on farm sheds), the maritime pine timber frame, often attacked by wood-boring insects in a humid climate, and the drainage, frequently in need of upgrading in isolated areas. An asbestos survey and a soil study are strongly recommended before any major renovation project in this damp forest setting.
If farmland comes with the buildings, ask about any current farm lease and the pre-emption right of the Safer, very active in the maize- and vine-growing parts of Landes. Finally, cost the renovation of an old borde or barn carefully before committing.
On ma-propriete.fr, filter Landes farms and barns 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 Nouvelle-Aquitaine. It is also worth comparing properties by whether farmland is attached, a decisive criterion for an equestrian or permaculture project.
