A farm property for sale in Corsica, a stone bergerie (shepherd's house) to restore, or an agricultural shed with land covered in maquis scrub or olive groves: the island offers rural buildings quite different from mainland Provence. This page brings together the farmhouses, barns and mas for sale in Corsica published on ma-propriete.fr: a mountain bergerie with a stone enclosure, a farm on the eastern plain, a former mill or paillole outbuilding to renovate, farmland with livestock buildings.
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 Corsica? According to DVF data (notarised sales) analysed by the ma-propriete.fr observatory, the median price of a country house in Corsica stood at €398,800 in 2025, with an average price of €461,933 and a median price of €3,688/m² of living space (448 house sales in rural municipalities over the year). 10% of houses sold for less than €200,000 (floor price, 1st decile) and 10% for more than €811,266 (ceiling price, 9th decile). The typical country house offers 116 m² of living space on an average plot of 2,413 m², i.e. around 0.2 ha.
The region is well above the national median (€189,200). Since the second half of 2020, the regional median price has risen from €328,600 to €398,800, i.e. +21.4%; over one year (2024-2025) the change is +3.2%.
| 2025 indicator | Corsica | France |
|---|---|---|
| Median price | €398,800 | €189,200 |
| Average price | €461,933 | €207,100 |
| Floor price (1st decile) | €200,000 | €90,000 |
| Ceiling price (9th decile) | €811,266 | €340,000 |
| Median price per m² of living space | €3,688/m² | €1,830/m² |
| Average living space | 116 m² | 108 m² |
| Average plot size | 2,413 m² | 3,181 m² |
| Number of sales in 2025 | 448 | 150,313 |
Differences between departments are significant: the median ranges from €341,000 in Haute-Corse (2B) to €500,000 in Corse-du-Sud (2A). 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corse-du-Sud (2A) | €500,000 | €559,123 | €4,444/m² | +28.5% | 219 |
| Haute-Corse (2B) | €341,000 | €368,987 | €3,221/m² | +26.2% | 229 |
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 Corsica 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 | €430,000 | €3,933/m² | +6.9% | 1,549 |
| Residential coastline | €320,000 | €2,950/m² | +19.8% | 383 |
| Inland tourist areas (hinterland, mountains) | €297,495 | €2,955/m² | +31.9% | 650 |
| Peri-urban countryside (city catchment area) | €415,000 | €3,851/m² | +6.2% | 215 |

Corsica has no tradition of a mas or a bastide as found in mainland Provence: traditional farm buildings are dominated by the mountain bergerie, built of granite or schist depending on the massif, often standing alone at altitude with dry-stone enclosures for goat and sheep flocks. In the valleys, the paillole, a small farm outbuilding, sometimes accompanies the main house.
On the eastern plain, between Bastia and Porto-Vecchio, more recent agricultural sheds, linked to fruit growing or viticulture, offer larger volumes, well suited to conversion into housing or gîtes on hectares of farmland or former olive groves.
In Corse-du-Sud, the hinterland of Ajaccio, the Taravo valley and the Sartène area still hold bergeries and farm properties to renovate, while the coast around Porto-Vecchio and Bonifacio is well above the average. In Haute-Corse, the Nebbio around Saint-Florent and the Casinca towards Corte offer farm properties more affordable than the Bastia area or Cap Corse.
The eastern plain, between Aléria and Ghisonaccia, holds most of the lowland farms, more accessible than renovated mountain bergeries in the Niolu or Castagniccia, both highly sought-after for their isolation.
Check the agricultural zoning in the local plan, very common in mountain areas, and the conditions for the change of use of a bergerie or shed into housing, often restrictive in Corsica. Check the roof (schist lauze slabs, tile, or corrugated metal on sheds, sometimes asbestos-cement), the timber frame and individual drainage, difficult to bring up to standard in isolated areas.
On any attached land, check for a current farm lease and the pre-emption right of the Corsican Safer. Also ask about actual access to the plot and about fire risk, high on maquis scrubland in summer.
On ma-propriete.fr, filter Corsica farms, bergeries and agricultural properties 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.
