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 Catalan mas is recognisable by its mass of river pebbles and limestone, thick walls, round arches and a sheepfold or tool shed attached to the dwelling. On the plain it is often built around an enclosed courtyard with access to a spring or an irrigation canal. In Cerdagne and Conflent, plainer mountain barns and cowsheds can also be found, linked to a still-active sheep-farming tradition.
These buildings lend themselves to conversion into a main home, into gîtes or guest rooms, subject to planning zoning. The adjoining farmland, often hectares of scrubland, abandoned vines or high pasture, suits horses, a flock, or a Mediterranean permaculture project.
The Roussillon plain, around Rivesaltes, Ille-sur-Têt and Thuir, has the widest choice of mas and vineyard farmhouses to renovate. The Aspres, towards Céret and Le Boulou, mix scrubland mas with orchards. The Conflent valleys, around Prades and Vinça, along the Têt river, offer more isolated mountain buildings at more contained prices.
On the coast, towards Argelès-sur-Mer and Collioure, renovated mas are rare and sell well above the departmental average. In Cerdagne, around Font-Romeu and Saillagouse, mountain farms stay more affordable despite a harsh winter climate.
Check the permitted use of the building under the agricultural zone of the local plan: a mas classed as agricultural can only become a home if it is listed for a change of use. Check the canal-tile roof (and possible asbestos-cement sheds), the timber frame, the drainage, and water access, sometimes limited on scrubland.
If land is included, ask about any current farm lease and about the pre-emption right of the Safer, very active in Catalan wine-growing areas. Finally, cost the renovation precisely, often increased by restoring irrigation networks.
