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 Meurthe-et-Moselle (54) by type of municipality (cumulative sales from mid-2020 to 2025) and its change between 2021 and 2025.

The typical Lorraine farmhouse brings together the dwelling, the cowshed, the stables and the barn under a single roof, with an imposing cart gateway opening onto the courtyard; Jaumont stone, an ochre limestone from the nearby Metz area, or Vosges sandstone depending on the village, often forms the façade. There is no mas in Meurthe-et-Moselle: the term has no local use here.
These single-block farmhouses offer considerable volumes: the barn section can become a home or a gîte, subject to local planning zoning. The adjoining farmland, often several hectares of arable land or pasture, suits livestock farming, horses or a permaculture project.
The Saintois area, around Vézelise and Colombey-les-Belles, as well as the Toul area, has the widest choice of single-block farmhouses to renovate. Towards Lunéville, buildings mix with lowland forests. In the Briey area and towards Longwy, to the north, the former steelmaking basin still has more isolated and affordable farms.
Near Nancy and on the Moselle hillsides, renovated single-block farmhouses sell well above the départemental average. Towards Pont-à-Mousson, in the Moselle valley, the market stays more accessible despite good transport links.
Check the change of use status in the agricultural zone of the local plan: a cowshed or farm barn can only be converted into a dwelling if it is identified as eligible for a change of use. Check the roof (mechanical tile, or asbestos-cement on more recent sheds), the timber frame and the drainage, worth checking in isolated rural villages.
If farmland is included, ask about any current farm lease and about the pre-emption right of the Safer (the French rural land agency). Also check for tanks or manure pits needing clean-up, common in former single-block farmhouses, before costing the renovation.
