The stone of the Clunisois
Around Cluny, houses are built of local limestone, a pale gold that turns honey-coloured at the end of the day. The walls are often fifty to sixty centimetres thick: they keep the house cool in summer and hold the warmth of the stove in winter.
Here you will find village houses in Cluny, Mâconnais winegrowers’ houses with their upstairs gallery, U-shaped farmhouses around a courtyard and a few maisons de maître. To see prices village by village, visit our market data.
Before you buy: what we look at with you
The walls first: a cement render stops the stone from breathing and draws damp up. A lime render, on the contrary, lets it dry. Then the roof and the timbers, which are often the heaviest item of work.
In the countryside, drainage is usually a private system: the SPANC inspection report is attached to the preliminary contract and says whether the installation must be redone. Finally, the energy rating often penalises old houses: an E or F says little about the real comfort of a stone house, but it matters for a future letting.
Restoring without spoiling
A stone house is restored with materials that let it breathe: lime renders and pointing rather than cement, wood-fibre or hemp insulation, wooden windows. Cement and airtight insulation trap damp in the walls, which eventually deteriorate.
In Cluny, the old town is a protected heritage site: façades, roofs and windows go through the Architecte des Bâtiments de France. Elsewhere, the local planning rules apply. Before your offer, we tell you what is allowed and put you in touch with local craftsmen who work with stone, lime and tiles.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a stone house cost around Cluny?
Houses sold for a median €1,830 per m² around Cluny in 2024-2025 (DVF data). A village house to restore can be found for under €150,000; a restored property with land and outbuildings often exceeds €400,000.
Is a stone house hard to heat?
Thick walls have high thermal inertia: once the house is warm, it stays warm. Insulation is done mainly through the roof, the windows and, if needed, an insulating lime render inside.
Is permission needed to redo a façade?
Yes, a prior declaration at the town hall. In Cluny, whose old town is protected, the Architecte des Bâtiments de France gives an opinion on renders, windows and colours.
