At €89,000 (€336/m²), the asking price is only moderately above the local comparison level, but extensive renovation at roughly €700/m² could bring the effective cost near €1,036/m². The large farmhouse has substantial ancillary and former agricultural spaces, while its remote countryside setting adds little location premium.
More on the house and the area
A generous historic farmhouse with exposed beams, original terrazzo and terracotta floors, a traditional “porta morta,” extensive outbuildings, and about 1,000 sqm of private land. The main house is roofed and structurally presented as a real home, with existing rooms and a bathroom, but it is dated and will require meaningful renovation rather than simple decoration.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€52,000 – €93,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Substantial renovation is needed, especially to modernize the interiors and agricultural outbuildings.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a large four-bedroom farmhouse.
- The isolated rural setting may mean checking utilities, heating, access, and renovation permissions.

The area around
Location score 42/100Soragna sits in the lower Parma plain between the Po and the first Apennine foothills, in a flat agricultural landscape of fields, canals and scattered farm buildings. The Po is within this radius to the north, and the area is part of the broad Bassa Parmense plain shaped by irrigation and river deposits. Fidenza is the nearest larger town, with rail services, shops and everyday services; Parma is farther but important for higher-order services and transport. Soragna is known locally for the Rocca Meli Lupi and for food production in the Parma lowlands, especially the wider zone of culatello, Parmigiano Reggiano and cured meats.
