A farmhouse for sale in Puy-de-Dôme (63), stone farm building or barn to convert: this mid-mountain department, shaped by extinct volcanoes and high plateaux, holds a massive stock of farm buildings, from the farms of the Limagne plain to the summer-pasture burons of the Cézallier and Sancy. This page brings together the farmhouses, barns and mas for sale in Puy-de-Dôme published on ma-propriete.fr: stone farmhouses with outbuildings, barns to restore, former farms with high-altitude pasture, buildings near the volcanoes and the Chaîne des Puys.
Below you will find the actual prices of the Puy-de-Dôme rural market, an overview of where to look, from the Limagne to the Combrailles, the Livradois-Forez and the mountains of the Sancy, 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.

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 Puy-de-Dôme (63) by type of municipality (cumulative sales from mid-2020 to 2025) and its change between 2021 and 2025.

Note: in Puy-de-Dôme (63), the municipalities classified as "coastline" have no access to the sea. They are municipalities bordering lakes of more than 1,000 hectares (or, in Eure, the Seine estuary) covered by the 1986 Loi Littoral, which also applies to such inland lakes and estuaries.

In Puy-de-Dôme, the farmhouse is traditionally built in dark volcanic stone, basalt or arkose depending on the massif, with the dwelling, cowshed and barn often grouped under a single low-pitched roof covered in lauze stone slabs or flat tile. On the heights of the Cézallier and Artense, the buron, a small summer-pasture building linked to grazing and cheese-making, adds to this heritage. There is no mas in Puy-de-Dôme: the term remains specific to the Mediterranean south. A vaulted cellar built into the volcanic rock is another distinctive feature found on many older farms here.
These thick-walled stone buildings offer good thermal inertia and convert well into a home or several gîtes, subject to local planning zoning. The attached farmland, often grazing pasture, from a few hectares to several dozen hectares in mountain areas, suits livestock farming, horses or a permaculture project at moderate altitude. Salers and Aubrac cattle, both raised in the area, explain why so many farms come with extensive summer pasture.
The Limagne, an agricultural plain around Riom and Clermont-Ferrand, holds mostly arable farms, while the Combrailles, to the west towards Pontgibaud and Pontaumur, offer more remote and affordable stone farmhouses. The Livradois-Forez, around Ambert and Cunlhat, still has accessible mid-mountain farm buildings. Towards the Sancy and Cézallier, around Besse-et-Saint-Anastaise, burons and summer-pasture farms are scarcer. The Chaîne des Puys, west of Clermont-Ferrand, concentrates highly sought-after rural properties.
Near Clermont-Ferrand and its urban area, renovated farmhouses sell noticeably above the regional average. Towards Issoire and Thiers, halfway between plain and mountain, prices stay more moderate, as they do in the western Combrailles, further from main roads. The Clermont-Ferrand area has no TGV station, which somewhat limits the Paris-driven pressure seen elsewhere.
Check the permitted use of the buildings: a barn zoned as agricultural land under the local plan can only become housing if it is identified as eligible for a change of use, which particularly concerns summer-pasture burons. Look at the roof (lauze stone, tile or metal sheeting depending on altitude, and possible asbestos-cement on sheds), the timber frame and the drainage, often complex in mountain areas. Altitude and winter snow cover frequently add to the constraints of any building work, particularly when materials need to reach the most remote buildings.
If summer-pasture or grazing land is included, ask about any current farm lease and about the pre-emption right of the Safer, active across much of the massif. Finally, cost the renovation precisely: restoring a buron or a volcanic-stone farm often requires a substantial budget, close to the purchase price, particularly when the lauze roof needs full replacement.
On ma-propriete.fr, filter Puy-de-Dôme farms and barns by budget, built area and land area, compare the Limagne, the Combrailles and the mountain areas, set up an email alert to follow new listings, and extend your search to all farmhouses, barns and mas for sale in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.
