A farmhouse for sale in Somme (80), a Picardy farm building in brick and flint: the department, a land of large-scale arable farming between the Santerre and Vimeu areas, still holds farm buildings arranged around a closed courtyard, often on a generous scale. This page brings together the farmhouses, barns and mas for sale in Somme published on ma-propriete.fr: brick-and-flint Picardy farms with a barn and cowshed, Santerre farm buildings with outbuildings, farm buildings with surrounding land.
Below you will find the actual prices of the Somme rural market, an overview of where to look, from the Santerre plain to the Somme valley, 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.
How much does a country house cost in Somme (80)? According to DVF data (notarised sales) analysed by the ma-propriete.fr observatory, the median price of a country house in Somme (80) stood at €159,000 in 2025, with an average price of €166,279 and a median price of €1,565/m² of living space (2,315 house sales in rural municipalities over the year).

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 Somme (80) by type of municipality (cumulative sales from mid-2020 to 2025) and its change between 2021 and 2025.

| Residential coastline | €165,000 | €1,811/m² | +8.7% | 172 |
| Inland tourist areas (hinterland, mountains) | €150,000 | €1,667/m² | +5.3% | 144 |

The typical Picardy farmhouse is a closed courtyard reached through a gateway: a brick and flint dwelling, a tall barn, a cowshed, stables and sheds are set out all around it, a legacy of the large cereal farms of the Santerre plain. Towards the Vimeu and Ponthieu areas, more modest versions exist, in brick alone or in wattle-and-daub. There are no mas in Somme; the term has no local use.
These often large buildings can be converted into a home or gîtes, subject to planning zoning for any change of use. The surrounding farmland, which can run to several dozen open-field hectares, remains in demand from local cereal farmers, or suits a permaculture project on a smaller plot.
The Santerre plain, around Péronne, Roisel and Albert, holds the largest open-field courtyard farms, with a steady supply. The Vimeu area, around Friville-Escarbotin and Ault, offers more modest farm buildings close to the coast. In the Ponthieu area, around Abbeville and Crécy-en-Ponthieu, prices generally stay moderate.
Near Amiens and in the Somme valley, renovated farm buildings are scarcer and more expensive, particularly along the towpath. In the Vimeu area and towards the Somme bay, around Rue and Le Crotoy, rural properties with views over the marshes reach levels clearly above the departmental average.
Check the change of use of the building: in an agricultural zone of the local plan, a cereal-farm barn only becomes habitable if it is listed among the buildings identified for that purpose. Check the roof (tile, slate, often asbestos-cement on farm sheds), the timber frame and the drainage. In some areas close to the former First World War front line, around Albert and Péronne, also ask about any restrictions linked to buried remains.
If farmland is attached, ask about any current farm lease, very common in this large-scale arable department, and about the pre-emption right of the Safer. Renovating a large Picardy barn often calls for a substantial budget, comparable to the purchase price itself.
On ma-propriete.fr, filter Somme 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 Hauts-de-France.
