Brittany is a land of legends, character and unspoilt nature. While the coastline attracts many tourists, the inland area, the Argoat, is full of incomparable architectural and land treasures. On the ma-propriete.fr portal, we have dedicated this space to those looking for a rural property for sale in Brittany, whether as a main residence, a tourist project or a peaceful retreat in the countryside.
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 %.

| 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 |

The Breton rural property market is exceptionally rich, shaped by a strong history and a particular geology dominated by granite. Buying a property in this region often means choosing authenticity and old stone buildings. The administrative region consists of four départements with strong identities: Ille-et-Vilaine (35) with its dynamic capital Rennes, Côtes-d'Armor (22) with its rolling landscapes around Saint-Brieuc, Finistère (29) at the western tip with Quimper and Brest, and finally Morbihan (56) in the south, renowned for its microclimate around Vannes.
One of the region’s major assets is the diversity of its traditional buildings. The Breton longère is undoubtedly the most emblematic construction. This narrow, low house, facing south to protect itself from the westerly winds, often offers incredible conversion potential. For those who love picturesque charm, the thatched cottage, with its traditional thatched roof, remains an attainable dream in certain areas, especially near natural parks.
Buyers seeking space will be interested in a farmstead. These groups of buildings, often made up of a main dwelling and several agricultural outbuildings, are ideal for creating holiday cottages or keeping horses. On a smaller scale, the smallholding or penty (a small fisherman’s or peasant’s house in Breton) are perfectly suited as a second home or a first purchase.
The Breton countryside has the particularity of never being very far from the ocean. It is perfectly possible to find a stone house in a green setting while still being close to the sea. This environment offers an outstanding quality of life, with a quiet, leafy setting.
Renovation enthusiasts will be able to find a barn to renovate or even a ruin to rebuild and turn it into a place that reflects their personality. Conversely, if you prefer immediate comfort, the market also offers the neo-Breton house from the 1960s–70s, solid and spacious, or a period house that has already been restored.
Water is omnipresent in Brittany. It is not uncommon to find properties crossed by a river or with a private pond. For lovers of industrial heritage, buying a watermill is a unique opportunity to live to the rhythm of the current in a place steeped in history. Whether you are looking to settle in a small friendly hamlet or prefer an isolated house for absolute peace and quiet, Brittany offers a variety of rural settings to suit every aspiration.
Our portal is designed to make it easier to find your future country house or rural estate. We know that buying in a rural area is guided by specific criteria, very different from urban property.
To help you find that rare gem, our search engine lets you filter listings using precise criteria related to rural property. You can select your property according to land area (in hectares or m²), type of property (forest, agricultural, leisure, buildings, etc.) and, of course, budget.
Do you dream of a large plot to keep animals or develop a permaculture project? Are you specifically looking for a leisure plot for your weekends? Our categories guide you directly to the relevant properties. Likewise, if you are targeting a property with an existing vegetable garden, a productive orchard or a well (a valuable asset for watering), our detailed descriptions will help you spot these features quickly.
The rural market is dynamic. To be the first to know when a Breton longère in Morbihan or a farmstead in Finistère comes up for sale, we invite you to create customised email alerts.
On ma-propriete.fr, we publish listings from both property professionals (agencies, notaries) and private sellers. You therefore benefit from an exhaustive overview of the market. Each listing allows you to contact the seller directly via a secure form or by phone. In addition, the geolocation of listings (depending on the seller’s choice) helps you to position the property in relation to amenities, while checking whether it is truly unoverlooked or offers the seclusion you are looking for.
Are you the owner of a house in need of renovation, a property with outbuildings or a beautiful home with a slate roof and want to sell your property? Ma-propriete.fr is the ideal partner to showcase your rural heritage.
Unlike generalist sites, our portal attracts an audience specifically looking for rural properties. Visitors browsing our pages are not searching for a city-centre flat, but for a country house, period stone or natural spaces. With a large number of monthly visitors who are passionate about rural living, your chances of reaching the right buyer are maximised.
We know that selling a rural property sometimes requires discretion. That is why we offer you a choice of geolocation levels for your listing: exact address, town or simply a wider area.
In addition, your listing benefits from multichannel exposure. As well as being visible on our site, we regularly share properties, such as a barn to renovate or a charming smallholding, on our social media and specialist Facebook groups. This proactive approach enables us to reach potential buyers where they are. Your property can also be placed in several relevant subcategories (for example “Country house” and “Equestrian property”), increasing its visibility among different types of buyers.
Beyond simply publishing listings, ma-propriete.fr positions itself as a true expert in the rural world. We offer a range of services to support sellers and buyers throughout their project.
Whether you are looking for a country house in Ille-et-Vilaine, a penty in Côtes-d'Armor, or are selling an estate, ma-propriete.fr is your key contact in Brittany.
