Although the asking price is only €35,403 (€51/m²), the property is explicitly described as a rural building currently in a state of ruin and is being sold through a judicial auction. Its isolated access via 2.2 km of partly damaged dirt road and the need to verify buildable rights make this unsuitable as a straightforward livable-home purchase.
More on the house and the area
The isolated Tuscan hillside setting and former farmhouse identity offer genuine restoration potential, but the actual home is currently a ruin. The polished interiors and fireplaces shown cannot be credited because the listing states they are non-real renders, so this is a major redevelopment project rather than a livable bargain home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€273,000 – €404,000
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.
- The property is explicitly described as a ruin and is not currently habitable.
- All attractive interiors shown are illustrative renders, not photographs of the actual building.
- Access is via approximately 2.2 km of partly damaged unpaved road; planning rights and recoverable volumes require verification.
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 67/100The cluster is in the Mugello, at the meeting of the Sieve valley with the valleys that rise into the Tuscan-Romagnolo Apennines. The Monti del Mugello and the first Apennine ridges are within the local horizon, and the Foreste Casentinesi, Monte Falterona e Campigna National Park begins to the east on the high ground around Monte Falterona, the source area of the Arno. The Sieve river runs through Dicomano. Borgo San Lorenzo is the nearest larger town and has the main services of the Mugello; Florence is the main city used for higher-order services and rail connections. The area is known for mixed hill farming, woods and chestnut country typical of the Mugello and upper Sieve valleys.
