A farmhouse for sale in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, a timber-framed Bresse barn to convert, or a Franche-Comté farmhouse under a wide overhanging roof: the region combines arable plains, vineyard land and the mid-mountain Jura. This page brings together the farmhouses, barns and mas for sale in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté published on ma-propriete.fr: a timber-framed Bresse farmhouse, a Franche-Comté block farm with a former cheese dairy, a granite Morvan farmhouse, a plain barn with adjoining land.
Below you will find an overview of actual prices by department, a presentation of where to look, 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 Bourgogne-Franche-Comté? According to DVF data (notarised sales) analysed by the ma-propriete.fr observatory, the median price of a country house in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté stood at €157,000 in 2025, with an average price of €168,680 and a median price of €1,525/m² of living space (11,450 house sales in rural municipalities over the year). 10% of houses sold for less than €74,000 (floor price, 1st decile) and 10% for more than €279,670 (ceiling price, 9th decile). The typical country house offers 108 m² of living space on an average plot of 2,805 m², i.e. around 0.3 ha.
The region is well below the national median (€189,200). Since the second half of 2020, the regional median price has risen from €139,775 to €157,000, i.e. +12.3%; over one year (2024-2025) the change is +4.7%.

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 Bourgogne-Franche-Comté 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 * | €173,775 | €2,197/m² | +20.4% | 34 |
| Residential coastline | €169,500 | €1,762/m² | +28.0% | 166 |
| Inland tourist areas (hinterland, mountains) | €108,000 | €1,123/m² | +20.0% | 5,708 |
| Peri-urban countryside (city catchment area) | €170,000 | €1,644/m² | +8.9% | 34,940 |
| Deep countryside (outside urban influence) | €135,000 | €1,327/m² | +8.5% | 29,316 |
* Between 30 and 99 sales: indicative value.
Note: in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, 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 Saône-et-Loire and the southern Jura, the Bresse farmhouse stands out with its timber frame, brick and Saracen chimney, with barn and cowshed attached under a wide flat-tile roof. In Doubs and the rest of the Jura, the Franche-Comté farmhouse, often built as a single block combining house, cowshed and barn under one overhanging roof, is recognisable by its rendered walls and its tuyé chimney. There is no mas in this region.
In Nièvre, the Morvan imposes its granite and slate roofs on more modest farms, often standing alone in a clearing. On the plains of the Yonne and Côte-d'Or, later, larger barns and agricultural sheds convert well into housing or gîtes on plots of several hectares.
In the Jura, the Revermont and the Saône valley offer a good reserve of Bresse and Franche-Comté farmhouses to renovate, while the area around Lons-le-Saunier and the Jura massif, prized for green tourism, is more sought-after. In Doubs, the Haut-Doubs around Pontarlier concentrates typical block farms that are costly to heat, while the Doubs valley near Besançon stays more accessible.
In Nièvre, the Morvan around Château-Chinon offers the most affordable prices in the region for a farmhouse to renovate; in Côte-d'Or, the area of vineyards between Beaune and Dijon is well above the regional average, while the north of the department stays more accessible. In Haute-Saône and the Territoire de Belfort, lowland farmhouses remain among the most affordable available.
Check the agricultural zoning in the local plan and the conditions for changing the use of barns and sheds, particularly strict on the arable plains of the Yonne and Côte-d'Or. Check the roof (flat tile, slate, or asbestos-cement sheets on more recent sheds), the timber frame, often old on Franche-Comté block farms, and individual drainage.
If farmland comes with the property, check for any current farm lease and the pre-emption right of the Safer. On former cheese dairies and Franche-Comté cellars, also check the condition of tanks and rule out soil contamination from earlier farming uses.
On ma-propriete.fr, filter Bourgogne-Franche-Comté farmhouses and barns by budget, department, built area and land area, set up an email alert to be told of new listings, and extend your search to all rural properties for sale.
