Most farmhouses in Malta are freehold, which means you fully own the property and land.
However, some historic homes may be subject to ground rent, meaning the owner must pay a regular fee to the original landowner. In many cases, this ground rent can be redeemed with a one-time payment, transferring full ownership to the buyer. Your notary will check the property’s legal status as part of the purchase and advise you on any ongoing obligations.
You can renovate a farmhouse, but if it’s located in a protected heritage zone, there may be renovation restrictions. Always consult with the Planning Authority before making structural changes.
Maltese farmhouses have a strong resale value, so they are a sound investment whether you’re looking to settle down or rent the place out. Many farmhouses come with private gardens, swimming pools, and ample outdoor space, adding to their appeal for both homeowners and holidaymakers.
Many farmhouses include spacious gardens, fields, or even farmland, providing plenty of room for outdoor activities, pets or farming.
