Converting a barn into a home
A farm barn does not become a home with the stroke of a pen: it is a change of use, which needs planning permission or a prior declaration depending on the works.
In an agricultural or natural zone of the intercommunal local plan, the barn must also be identified as able to change its use. We check this with you before any offer: it makes all the value of an outbuilding.
What sets the price of a farm
The condition of the outbuildings’ roofs, often larger than the house’s, weighs heavily in the budget. Then come water and drainage, access for machinery, any livestock building next door and possible rights of way.
Land of several hectares may be let to a farmer: a current agricultural lease passes with the sale and must be read before signing.
A gîte in the barn?
A converted barn can become a gîte independent of the main house: it is one of the most frequent projects among our buyers. Plan for a separate entrance, guest access, drainage sized for both homes, and a declaration at the town hall before the first letting.
Our page on houses with a gîte details the real income of a holiday let around Cluny, and our concierge service can then handle bookings, welcoming and cleaning.

Frequently asked questions
Can you buy a farm without being a farmer?
Yes. If the sale includes farmland, the SAFER (the rural land agency) is informed and may exercise a pre-emption right over that land; the notaire handles it.
How much does it cost to renovate a barn?
It all depends on the condition of the shell and the roof, the area to convert and the utilities to bring in. Before your offer, we put you in touch with craftsmen in the Clunisois for a quote.
Does a farm’s drainage have to be redone?
Not always. Without mains drainage, an inspection of the private system less than three years old is compulsory for the sale; if it shows the installation is not compliant, the buyer has one year to bring it up to standard. We read this report with you before the offer.
