A farmhouse for sale in Centre-Val de Loire, a stone barn to convert from the Beauce plain, or a Sologne farmhouse under a shallow-pitched roof: the region, split between a vast arable plain and a country of ponds, offers a contrasting range of farm buildings. This page brings together the farmhouses, barns and mas for sale in Centre-Val de Loire published on ma-propriete.fr: a Beauce courtyard farm with outbuildings, a brick and timber-framed Sologne farmhouse, a stone Berry farmhouse, a Touraine troglodyte farm to restore.
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 Centre-Val de Loire? According to DVF data (notarised sales) analysed by the ma-propriete.fr observatory, the median price of a country house in Centre-Val de Loire stood at €150,000 in 2025, with an average price of €157,230 and a median price of €1,519/m² of living space (10,907 house sales in rural municipalities over the year). 10% of houses sold for less than €75,000 (floor price, 1st decile) and 10% for more than €251,580 (ceiling price, 9th decile). The typical country house offers 103 m² of living space on an average plot of 2,999 m², i.e. around 0.3 ha.

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 Centre-Val de Loire 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Inland tourist areas (hinterland, mountains) | €102,000 | €1,098/m² | +13.7% | 1,521 |
| Peri-urban countryside (city catchment area) | €170,912 | €1,709/m² | +2.8% | 34,394 |

In Eure-et-Loir and the northern Loiret, the Beauce courtyard farm is arranged around a closed yard formed by the dwelling, a large barn and cowsheds, built of limestone or flint under slate or flat tile. In Loir-et-Cher and the Sologne part of Cher, the farmhouse is more modest, built of brick and timber framing under a shallow pitch, suited to the wet ground and ponds of the area. There is no mas in this region.
In Indre-et-Loire and Indre, tuffeau stone and troglodyte cellars sometimes accompany the plain, sturdy Berry farmhouse. These barns and sheds, often arranged around a courtyard, offer volumes well suited to gîtes or housing on plots of several hectares of farmland.
In Eure-et-Loir, the Beauce plateau around Châteaudun and Chartres offers a wide reserve of courtyard farms, areas close to Chartres remaining more sought-after. In Loir-et-Cher, the Sologne around Romorantin-Lanthenay and the Loire valley near Blois offer very different profiles, the Loire valley being markedly more prized for its proximity to the Loire cycle route and the châteaux.
In Cher, the areas around Bourges and Sancerre remain affordable outside the Sancerre vineyard. In Indre, the Brenne and its ponds, around Le Blanc, offer some of the most accessible prices in the region; in Indre-et-Loire, the Loches and Richelais areas are more affordable than the Loire valley near Tours. Loiret, south of Orléans towards the Sologne, keeps a varied farm-property supply.
Check the agricultural zoning in the local plan and the conditions for changing the use of Beauce or Sologne barns, as intensive cereal farming on the Beauce plain keeps some working buildings still in use. Check the roof (slate, flat tile, or asbestos-cement sheets on sheds), the timber frame and individual drainage, particularly sensitive on the wet ground of Sologne and the Brenne.
If land comes with the property, check for any current farm lease, common on large Beauce cereal farms, and the pre-emption right of the Safer. On troglodyte farms, have the stability of cellars cut into the tuffeau stone surveyed.
