A farmhouse for sale in Seine-Maritime (76), a Normandy farm building or a former enclosed farmstead waiting to be restored: the Pays de Caux and the Pays de Bray still hold a farming heritage of timber frame and brick, ringed by hedgerows and apple orchards. This page brings together the farmhouses, barns and mas for sale in Seine-Maritime published on ma-propriete.fr: half-timbered farmhouses with a barn and cowshed, Caux longhouses on a planted bank, Pays de Bray farms with outbuildings and pasture.
Below you will find the actual prices of the Seine-Maritime rural market, an overview of where to look, from the Caux plateau to the Bresle valley, and the points to check before buying a former Normandy 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 Seine-Maritime (76) by type of municipality (cumulative sales from mid-2020 to 2025) and its change between 2021 and 2025.

| Residential coastline | €215,600 | €2,117/m² | +5.2% | 1,454 |
| Inland tourist areas (hinterland, mountains) | €183,300 | €1,970/m² | +17.9% | 155 |

The classic Caux farmhouse is built as an enclosed farmstead: a hedge-planted bank surrounds a courtyard where the timber-frame dwelling, the barn, the cowshed and sometimes stables are set out. Towards the Pays de Bray, brick and flint often replace the timber frame. The term mas has no use in Normandy; it never appears in local listings.
These long, low buildings can be converted into a single home or several gîtes, subject to planning zoning and, where a timber frame is of note, approval from the local heritage architect. The surrounding land, from a few thousand square metres to several hectares of pasture or farmland, suits livestock, horses or a permaculture project.
The Pays de Caux plateau, around Yvetot, Cany-Barville and Doudeville, has the widest choice of enclosed farmsteads to renovate. The Pays de Bray, around Neufchâtel-en-Bray and Forges-les-Eaux, offers brick-and-flint farms that are generally more affordable. In the Bresle valley, between Eu and Blangy-sur-Bresle, farms sit alongside a historic glassmaking area.
Near Rouen and along the Seine valley, renovated farmhouses are becoming scarcer and priced for their closeness to the city. On the Alabaster Coast, around Fécamp and Dieppe, farmhouses with sea views reach levels clearly above the departmental average.
Check the change of use of the building: in an agricultural zone of the local plan, a timber-frame barn can only become habitable if it is listed among the buildings concerned, and the planted bank of an enclosed farmstead is often protected as a hedgerow feature. Check the condition of the timber frame, the roof (remaining thatch or tile, sometimes asbestos-cement on sheds) and the drainage.
If farmland comes with the property, ask about any current farm lease and about the pre-emption right of the Safer. Restoring a timber frame in poor condition, between underpinning and replacing the wattle-and-daub infill, often exceeds the budget of an ordinary renovation.
