France's leading agricultural region, Brittany has inherited an exceptional stock of rural buildings: longères, granite farmhouses, barns and cowsheds, bread ovens, sheds. This page brings together the farmhouses, barns and mas for sale in Brittany published on ma-propriete.fr in Finistère, Côtes-d'Armor, Ille-et-Vilaine and Morbihan: farmhouses to renovate, smallholdings with a few hectares, stone barns to convert, former farms turned into gîtes or equestrian properties.
You will find the actual prices of the Breton rural market (notarised sales 2020-2025), an overview of the areas where to look, from the Léon to the Vitré country, and the essential checks before buying a former farm building. To cost an accommodation project, read our white paper on setting up a rural gîte.
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 Brittany? According to DVF data (notarised sales) analysed by the ma-propriete.fr observatory, the median price of a country house in Brittany stood at €210,000 in 2025, with an average price of €223,474 and a median price of €2,027/m² of living space (13,579 house sales in rural municipalities over the year). 10% of houses sold for less than €110,000 (floor price, 1st decile) and 10% for more than €355,291 (ceiling price, 9th decile). The typical country house offers 107 m² of living space on an average plot of 3,041 m², i.e. around 0.3 ha.
The region is above the national median (€189,200). Since the second half of 2020, the regional median price has risen from €166,465 to €210,000, i.e. +26.2%; over one year (2024-2025) the change is +3.4%.

Differences between departments are significant: the median ranges from €185,000 in Côtes-d'Armor (22) to €220,000 in Morbihan (56). The table below compares 2025 prices and their change since 2020.
| Department | Median price 2025 | Average price 2025 | Median price per m² | Change 2020-2025 | Sales 2025 |

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 Brittany 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 | €280,000 | €2,738/m² | +12.1% | 9,739 |
| Residential coastline | €235,000 | €2,270/m² | +12.2% | 14,949 |
| Inland tourist areas (hinterland, mountains) | €120,000 | €1,270/m² | +8.8% | 406 |
| Peri-urban countryside (city catchment area) | €207,721 | €1,963/m² | +12.8% | 29,568 |
| Deep countryside (outside urban influence) | €155,465 | €1,565/m² | +16.9% | 34,594 |
These benchmarks help you assess a listing, estimate a property before putting it up for sale, or set your budget, whether you are looking for a holiday home, a permanent move to the French countryside or a property to turn into a rural gîte.

The traditional Breton farm combines a longère dwelling, a cowshed and a barn, in granite in the west and south and in schist in the eastern bocage, under slate or, more rarely, thatch. The large farms of the Léon and Trégor, the manor-farms of Cornouaille, the compact farms of central Brittany and the U-shaped groups of the Vitré and Fougères country illustrate this diversity. The mas does not exist in Brittany; buyers looking for a large rehabilitated agricultural property will find its equivalent in the former farmhouses.
The sheds and cattle buildings of the 1970s-2000s, less noble, add useful space for a workshop, horses or storage. The adjoining land, from a few thousand square metres to several dozen hectares of pasture and woodland, often makes the value of the property.
Inland Finistère (Monts d'Arrée, the Carhaix area, Châteaulin) and central Brittany in Côtes-d'Armor (Rostrenen, Loudéac, Guingamp) offer the region's cheapest farms and barns to renovate. The Trégor and the Léon have fine granite farms close to the coast. In Ille-et-Vilaine, the bocage of Fougères, Vitré and Combourg attracts people working in Rennes, while the Emerald Coast remains a prestige market. In Morbihan, the Pontivy and Ploërmel areas concentrate the supply, with prices rising as you approach Vannes and the Gulf.
As with any Breton country house, the distance to the coast and to the TGV stations drives prices: a renovated farm with 2 hectares 20 minutes from Vannes or Saint-Malo is often worth twice an equivalent property in central Brittany.
Check the permitted use of the buildings in the local plan (change of use of a barn in an agricultural zone), the condition of the roof and timber frame, the presence of asbestos-cement sheets on sheds, the drainage, the utilities and any installations to be cleaned up (tanks, manure pits). If land is sold with the buildings, check for an existing farm lease and the pre-emption right of the Safer.
Finally, budget for the renovation: converting a barn into a home or gîtes frequently costs as much as the purchase. Energy-renovation grants and Brittany's tourist rental potential, as France's leading region for rural gîte stays, can balance the project.
