A farmhouse for sale in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, a golden-stone Périgord farmhouse or a timber-frame Landes farmhouse: France's largest region, spanning Charente, Périgord, the Basque Country and the Limousin, offers a diversity of farm buildings rarely matched elsewhere. This page brings together the farmhouses, barns and mas for sale in Nouvelle-Aquitaine listed on ma-propriete.fr: Périgord farm buildings with a dovecote, Charente farmhouses in dressed stone, Basque farmhouses with red timber framing, and Limousin granite barns with land.
Below you will find the actual prices of the rural market across the region's twelve departments, an overview of where the choice is widest, from the Black Périgord to the Basque Country, and the points to watch on each local building type. For a tourism project, 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 Nouvelle-Aquitaine? According to DVF data (notarised sales) analysed by the ma-propriete.fr observatory, the median price of a country house in Nouvelle-Aquitaine stood at €170,000 in 2025, with an average price of €188,636 and a median price of €1,657/m² of living space (26,126 house sales in rural municipalities over the year). 10% of houses sold for less than €83,000 (floor price, 1st decile) and 10% for more than €315,785 (ceiling price, 9th decile). The typical country house offers 110 m² of living space on an average plot of 4,005 m², i.e. around 0.4 ha.
The region is below the national median (€189,200). Since the second half of 2020, the regional median price has risen from €157,000 to €170,000, i.e. +8.3%; over one year (2024-2025) the change is +1.2%.

A regional average also hides large gaps between municipalities. 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 Nouvelle-Aquitaine by type of municipality (cumulative sales from mid-2020 to 2025) and its change between 2021 and 2025.
| Type of municipality | Median price 2020-2025 | Median price per m² | Change 2021-2025 | Sales 2020-2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tourist coastline | €310,000 | €3,269/m² | +3.3% | 5,594 |
| Residential coastline | €235,000 | €2,328/m² | -4.0% | 4,184 |
| Inland tourist areas (hinterland, mountains) | €133,000 | €1,312/m² | +3.8% | 8,860 |
| Peri-urban countryside (city catchment area) | €189,000 | €1,788/m² | +5.2% | 74,824 |
| Deep countryside (outside urban influence) | €142,000 | €1,364/m² | +5.1% | 68,913 |

In the Dordogne and Lot-et-Garonne, the Périgord farmhouse, built in limestone under flat tiles and sometimes topped with a dovecote, is arranged around a courtyard. In the Landes, the timber-frame farmhouse sits around an airial, a clearing planted with oaks, with an adjoining barn and cowshed. In the Basque Country, the farmhouse (etxe) combines stone with red-painted timber framing. In Charente and Charente-Maritime, buildings remain in white dressed stone. There is no mas or Provençal-style bastide here; in the Dordogne and Lot-et-Garonne, "bastide" refers to medieval new towns, not farm buildings.
These buildings lend themselves to conversion into a home or several gîtes, subject to local planning zoning and a change of use. The hectares of farmland or pasture, particularly extensive in the Landes and Charente, suit keeping horses or a permaculture project.
In the Dordogne, the Black Périgord around Sarlat-la-Canéda and the Green Périgord near Nontron offer a wide range of farm buildings. In Charente and Charente-Maritime, the Cognac area, Saintonge around Saintes and the countryside behind La Rochelle keep an accessible choice. In the Landes, the interior around Mont-de-Marsan and Roquefort offers affordable airial farms; in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques, the inland Basque Country near Mauléon-Licharre and the Béarn around Pau round out the choice. In Corrèze, Creuse and Haute-Vienne, the Limousin plateau around Tulle, Guéret and Limoges stays very affordable.
Areas close to Bordeaux in the Gironde, the Basque coast around Bayonne, and the touristy Dordogne valley remain well above the regional average. By contrast, the Creuse, Haute-Vienne and the Landes interior offer some of the most affordable farm buildings and barns in France.
Check the permitted use of the buildings against the local plan: in an agricultural zone A, a barn or cowshed can only become housing if it is expressly identified as eligible for a change of use. Examine the roof (canal tile, flat tile or Limousin slate, but also asbestos-cement sheets on sheds), the timber frame, the condition of any Landes or Basque timber framing, and the drainage, often basic in isolated rural areas.
If farmland or vineyard land comes with the property, ask about any current farm lease and about the pre-emption right of the Safer, particularly active in the Gironde and Charente. Finally, cost the renovation precisely, often equivalent to the purchase price on the largest farm buildings.
