A departmental average hides large gaps. 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 Eure-et-Loir (28) by type of municipality (cumulative sales from mid-2020 to 2025) and its change between 2021 and 2025.

On the Beauce plain, around Chartres and Châteaudun, the country house takes the form of a farmhouse built in limestone and flint, arranged around a square courtyard, with a barn and stable that can be converted into liveable outbuildings. In the Perche, to the west and south of the department, the landscape changes completely: rolling hedgerow farmland, timber-framed Perche manor-style houses with rendered infill, and low longères under flat-tile or slate roofs. In between, the Thymerais and Drouais areas, around Dreux, offer a more understated transition, with limestone and brick combined differently from one village to the next. Perche hamlets, tucked into small valleys, contrast with the large Beauce market towns built around their church tower and grain silos.
The land that comes with them varies by area: an enclosed garden and orchard for Perche houses, large agricultural plots for Beauce farmhouses. The hamlets of the Perche, framed by hedges and woodland, offer a far more intimate setting than the open Beauce plain. Perche timber framing, often painted in bright colours, contrasts with the plainer look of the large Beauce farmhouses, whose imposing outbuildings reflect a thriving grain-farming past.
Around Chartres and along the axis towards Paris, the country house benefits from the rail link and proximity to the Paris region; areas near the Chartres-Paris line are the most sought-after. Towards Dreux, on the Norman border, the market stays active thanks to quick access to the Île-de-France via the A11 and A13 motorways. The south of the department, towards Bonneval and Illiers-Combray, made famous by Marcel Proust, keeps an unspoilt rural character while staying under an hour from Chartres.
The Perche, around Nogent-le-Rotrou, La Ferté-Vidame and Bellême (on the Orne side), and the south of the department towards Châteaudun and Bonneval, offer notably more moderate prices, despite a building style that is often more distinctive and popular for a holiday home. No TGV station serves Eure-et-Loir directly, but proximity to Le Mans to the west and the Chartres-Paris Montparnasse line remain assets for people doing part-time remote work from a country home. Areas close to Nogent-le-Rotrou in particular appeal to Parisian buyers looking for a second home within about two hours' drive.
Three factors carry weight: the rail link to Paris (Chartres-Paris line, proximity to Le Mans served by TGV), the condition of the building — roof, timber frame or masonry, damp and energy rating, often needing work on old Perche manors — and the size of the plot. A renovated house near Chartres and a farmhouse to renovate deep in the Perche can show a significant price gap for a comparable size. The quality of the surrounding land, farmland in the Beauce or hedgerow country in the Perche, along with a pond or a river such as the Huisne, also affects a property's value. Being close to a market town with a school and shops is a deciding factor for families, particularly in the Perche where isolated hamlets are common and winter roads can be quiet.
Check the private drainage system, fibre-optic coverage for remote working, and the local plan rules if you plan to convert a barn or a Beauce outbuilding. The Beauce's clay-limestone soils expose some areas to clay-shrinkage subsidence risk, worth watching during dry spells, while damp remains the main concern in the Perche valleys, particularly for timber frames close to a stream.
