Country house prices by department

Differences between departments are significant: the median ranges from €100,000 in Nièvre (58) to €224,920 in Doubs (25). The table below compares 2025 prices and their change since 2020.

Prices vary widely depending on the type of municipality

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.

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.

What makes country houses in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté special

From the winegrower's house to the Comté farmhouse

In the Côte-d'Or and Saône-et-Loire, the winegrower's house in limestone, often with a vaulted cellar, shapes the wine villages of the Côte de Nuits, the Côte de Beaune and the Mâconnais. In the Doubs, the Jura and Haute-Saône, the Comté-style farmhouse stands out for its wide overhanging eaves sheltering firewood, its tiled roof and sometimes its tuyé, the pyramid-shaped chimney typical of the Haut-Doubs. In Saône-et-Loire and the Yonne, timber-framed Bresse farmhouses in brick complete the picture, alongside 19th-century manor-style houses in the villages of the Nièvre. In the Yonne, around Chablis and Auxerre, winegrowers' houses tend to be plainer, built of pale limestone, while in Haute-Saône, towards Gray and Vesoul, the traditional farmhouse has a more modest look, with rendered walls and a machine-tile roof. The Haut-Doubs, around Pontarlier and Mouthe, keeps the finest examples of tuyé farmhouses, now much sought after for their character.

The land attached ranges from hillside vines to grazing pasture: hectares of pasture in the Charolais-Brionnais, woodland and ponds in the Puisaye or the Morvan, garden and orchard around village houses. Outbuildings (barn, cellar, bread oven) are common and often convertible into a gîte. In the Jura, plateau farmhouses often keep a vaulted cellar once used for ageing Comté or Morbier cheese, a bonus for anyone wanting to continue small-scale cheesemaking or simply enjoy a naturally cool space year-round.

From Burgundy's vineyards to the Jura mountains

In the Côte-d'Or, around Beaune, Nuits-Saint-Georges and Dijon, and in the Doubs around Besançon, country houses are the most expensive in the region, driven by the vineyards and proximity to the city. The Jura, around Lons-le-Saunier, Poligny and Saint-Claude, and the Territoire de Belfort, benefit from a TGV link and a sought-after mountain setting. Towards the Nièvre, the Yonne and rural Saône-et-Loire, the quiet of the Morvan and the Charolais appeals to those seeking a move to the countryside. Around Auxerre and Chablis in the Yonne, winegrowers' houses benefit from a fast regional rail link to Paris, appealing to buyers looking for remote-working setups without Côte-d'Or price tags. The border Doubs, towards Pontarlier and Morteau, draws buyers tied to Swiss employment, which pushes prices up despite the altitude.

Haute-Saône, the Nièvre away from the Loire valley and the northern Jura offer the most affordable prices in the region for a stone house with a large plot, while the wine-growing Côte-d'Or stays clearly above the regional average. Towards Autun and Le Creusot in Saône-et-Loire, rural property stays affordable despite a direct TGV link to Paris, a rare combination at this price level.

What determines the price of a country house in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté

Three factors dominate: proximity to the vineyards or to a TGV station (Dijon, Besançon, Le Creusot-Montceau), the condition of the old building, particularly the energy rating of often poorly insulated timber-framed stone farmhouses, and the size of the farmland or woodland. A renovated winegrower's house in the Côte-d'Or and a farmhouse to renovate in the Morvan can show a very marked price gap for a comparable floor area. Proximity to Switzerland, via the border areas of the Doubs and Jura, also affects prices, as does the presence of a cellar or spring, valued for cheese ageing or simply for keeping cool in summer.

Also check the private drainage system, fibre-optic coverage for remote working, the local plan rules in agricultural zones, and the damp commonly found in old, poorly ventilated Comté farmhouses. In the Jura and Haut-Doubs, winter snowfall means checking the condition of the roof and attic insulation, while in the Saône plains, the risk of a rising water table is worth checking before any purchase.
