A farmhouse & barn for sale in Hautes-Pyrénées (65), a mountain hay barn to take on or a former piedmont farm: the department, long shaped by cattle and sheep farming, still holds a dense stock of farm buildings between the Adour plain and the mountain valleys. This page brings together the farmhouses, barns and mas for sale in Hautes-Pyrénées published on ma-propriete.fr: piedmont farms with an attached barn, timber-clad valley buildings, farmhouses with land and high pastures.
Below you will find the actual prices of the Hautes-Pyrénées rural market, an overview of where to look, from the Val d'Adour to the Bigorre valleys, and the points to check before buying a former farm building in a mountain area.

There are no statistics dedicated to farmhouses and barns: a renovated farmhouse sells like a country house with outbuildings and land, whereas a bare barn or a farm to renovate often sells well below. The most useful benchmark therefore remains the price of country houses.

A departmental average hides large gaps. 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 Hautes-Pyrénées (65) by type of municipality (cumulative sales from mid-2020 to 2025) and its change between 2021 and 2025.

The Hautes-Pyrénées farmhouse most often comes as a single stone block combining the dwelling, the cowshed and the hay barn under one roofline, slate in the mountains and tile on the Val d'Adour plain. Up in the high pastures, isolated stone barns can still be found, once used for mountain hay-making. There are no mas in Hautes-Pyrénées, a term kept for Mediterranean regions; the local terms are piedmont farm or valley farm.
These volumes lend themselves to conversion into a single home or several dwellings, subject to planning zoning and a change of use application. The adjoining land, from a small plot to several hectares of hay meadow or sloped pasture, suits a flock of sheep, horses or a valley-floor permaculture project.
The Val d'Adour, around Vic-en-Bigorre, Maubourguet and Rabastens-de-Bigorre, has the widest choice of farmhouses and barns to renovate, in a landscape of hills and maize fields. Around Tarbes and the Bigorre plain, farms sit close to a peri-urban fabric. The Campan valley, the Payolle Adour valley and the Bagnères-de-Bigorre area offer more isolated mountain barns, usually needing full restoration.
Towards Lourdes, Argelès-Gazost and the Luz gorges, renovated farmhouses become scarce and sell well above the departmental average because of the Pyrenean setting. The Aure and Louron valleys, more remote, remain more affordable, though access and isolation should not be underestimated.
Check the permitted use in the land registry and the rules of the agricultural zone of the local plan: a farm barn can only become a home if it is listed among the buildings allowed a change of use. Check the roof (Pyrenean slate, but also asbestos-cement sheets on newer sheds), the timber frame exposed to mountain damp, and the drainage, often non-compliant on isolated buildings.
If land is included, ask about any current farm lease, particularly for high-pasture plots let to a livestock farmer, and about the pre-emption right of the Safer. Finally, cost the renovation carefully: mountain access often pushes up the price of structural works.
