At €89,000 for 265 m², the purchase price is attractive at €336/m², but the farmhouse requires substantial renovation, bringing the estimated all-in cost to roughly €1,036/m² versus a local reference of €297/m². The listing includes substantial former agricultural, storage and barn space, while construction details and energy information are not stated.
More on the house and the area
A generous traditional farmhouse with attractive exposed beams, original terracotta floors, outbuildings, and around 1,000 sqm of private land. The main house appears structurally usable with finished rooms, a bathroom, and working stairs, but it is dated and needs meaningful renovation rather than being move-in ready.
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.
- Substantial renovation and modernization are needed, despite the house being roofed and usable.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a very large nine-bedroom property.
- The rural setting is peaceful and spacious but lacks a dramatic sea, lake, or mountain view.
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
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.
