Cheaper than its southern neighbour, Haute-Corse shows a 2025 median of €341,000 for a country house, with nine sales in ten below €600,680. A guest house sits at the top of that range or above it on the coast. The tourist coastline, from the Balagne to Cap Corse, is the benchmark at a 2020-2025 median of €357,130; the tourist inland falls to €272,960. The residential coast around Bastia and the eastern plain rose most, by 26.3% between 2021 and 2025. A large seafront home belongs to another market, with an indicative regional median of €3,752,800.
The Balagne leads demand: Calvi, L'Île-Rousse, hill villages such as Sant'Antonino and Pigna and the beaches command the highest prices. Cap Corse, with its harbours and Genoese towers, and Saint-Florent in the Nebbio appeal to sailors and wine lovers, though the narrow Cap road limits access. Inland, Corte, the Restonica and the Niolo live from walking, with cheaper houses and a shorter season. The Castagniccia suits those seeking quiet, while the eastern plain, from Aléria to Ghisonaccia, offers flat land and beaches. Bastia-Poretta and Calvi airports, the ports of Bastia, L'Île-Rousse and Calvi, and the train to Corte and Ajaccio serve the department.
On Cap Corse and in the Castagniccia, schist houses with stone-slab roofs have character, but old roofs and floors need a survey before works. Wildfire is the main risk, so check the plot's exposure and the legal duty to clear vegetation. The Golo and Tavignano valleys flood, and the eastern plain faces coastal erosion. The Coastal Law, the Mountain Law and the island plan (PADDUC) govern extensions, pools and barn conversions: ask the mairie (town hall) before signing. The notaire, the public official who handles property sales, checks title, which joint ownership can complicate. A chambres d'hôtes business is capped at 5 rooms and 15 guests at a time, breakfast included, declared at the mairie; above that, public-access building rules apply. Serving wine with meals requires at least a restaurant licence and a specific permit. See our article on opening chambres d'hôtes (in French).
Land-registry sales give the benchmarks: a €341,000 department median in 2025, €357,130 on the tourist coastline and €272,960 inland. Add room fit-out, works and purchase costs, which our notary fee calculator (in French) helps estimate.
Yes, some owners list their guest houses directly on ma-propriete.fr, alongside agents and notaires. The sale still goes through a compromis de vente (preliminary contract) and a deed signed before a notaire. Ask for accounts, the town hall declaration and the septic inspection.
The coast fills mostly in summer; in spring and autumn, walkers, wine lovers and visitors to Bastia or Corte take over. Test your assumptions with our B&B profitability and tax simulator (in French) and have an accountant review them.
