Maltese Farmhouses
Converted farmhouses are among the most sought-after property types on the islands, concentrated in Gozo and in the rural cores of Mgarr, Dingli, Siggiewi, Zebbug, Qala, Xaghra and Nadur. The traditional form is a stone building set around a courtyard, with thick walls, high ceilings, exposed limestone and, in most converted examples, a pool in the yard. They sell to buyers looking for character and privacy rather than convenience, and they dominate the high-end holiday-let market in Gozo. Condition ranges from fully restored and habitable to shells sold for conversion, so filters for pool, bedroom count and finished state carry more weight than price per square metre.
