A farmhouse for sale in Loiret (45), a Beauce farm building or a Gâtinais barn: between a large cereal-growing plain, the Orléans forest and Sologne ponds, the department offers farm buildings with several different faces. This page brings together the farmhouses, barns and mas for sale in Loiret published on ma-propriete.fr: a Beauce farmhouse with sheds, a millstone-grit Gâtinais barn to renovate, a Sologne farm building, a former holding with a cowshed and outbuildings. Distance to Orléans, the quality of the land and any adjoining woodland are among the criteria that most set listings apart from one another.
Below you will find the actual prices of the Loiret rural market, an overview of where to look, from Beauce to the Gâtinais, 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 professionals clearly distinguish files from the large cereal plain from the more wooded files of the Gâtinais or Sologne.
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 Loiret (45) by type of municipality (cumulative sales from mid-2020 to 2025) and its change between 2021 and 2025.
| Type of municipality | Median price 2020-2025 | Median price per m² | Change 2021-2025 | Sales 2020-2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Peri-urban countryside (city catchment area) | €181,000 | €1,808/m² | +4.0% | 6,880 |
| Deep countryside (outside urban influence) | €140,000 | €1,478/m² | +0.0% | 6,683 |

To the north and west, the Beauce farm follows the closed-courtyard layout typical of the large cereal plain, with a cowshed, stables and large sheds. To the east, in the Gâtinais, farms are more modest, built of millstone grit or limestone, with outbuildings gathered around a narrow yard. Neither mas nor bastide feature in the local vocabulary, those terms being reserved for the Mediterranean south.
Beauce barns, tall under the ridge, lend themselves well to conversion into a home or gîtes, subject to an approved change of use in an agricultural zoning area. The adjoining farmland, often several hectares of Beauce open field, contrasts with the more wooded Gâtinais plots, suited to a permaculture project or keeping horses. Some Gâtinais farms still have a bread oven and a dovecote, remnants of a traditional mixed farming that is now rarer.
Around Pithiviers and in the Gâtinais, as well as towards Montargis and the Puisaye area, the choice of farms and barns to renovate remains the widest and most affordable in the department, in a still-active farming landscape. The Beaune-la-Rolande area, in the heart of Beauce, completes this dense rural zone.
Near Orléans and along the Loire, renovated farm buildings are scarcer and trade above the departmental average. Towards Gien and the Orléans side of Sologne, smallholdings on the forest edge and properties with ponds form a sought-after market distinct from farming Beauce. Between the two, the Malesherbes area and the northern Gâtinais form an intermediate zone, halfway between Beauce and the Paris region.
Check the building's permitted use under the local zoning plan: in an agricultural zone, a Beauce barn can only become a home if it appears on the list of buildings eligible for a change of use. Check the roof (flat tiles, asbestos-cement sheets common on more recent sheds), the timber frame and the drainage, often in need of upgrading on isolated buildings at the edge of Sologne. An asbestos survey and a check on the strength of the timber frame are recommended before buying an old Beauce barn.
If farmland comes with the property, ask about any current farm lease and the pre-emption right of the Safer, particularly active in cereal-growing Beauce. Finally, cost the renovation carefully, often substantial for a large-volume Beauce barn.
On ma-propriete.fr, filter Loiret 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 Centre-Val de Loire. It is also worth comparing whether woodland, ponds or arable land are attached, a criterion that strongly shapes the possible use of the property.
