At €90,000 for 350 m², the asking price is only €257/m², but the property needs substantial renovation: estimated total costs of about €245,000 bring the effective cost to roughly €957/m² versus a €570/m² local benchmark. The 2,500 m² private garden, independent entrance, parking building and no condominium fees add value, but the project remains expensive overall.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial traditional Emilia-Romagna farmhouse with attractive exposed brick and stone, timber-beamed interiors, a private 2,500 sqm garden and an additional two-storey outbuilding. The main house appears structurally roofed and habitable rather than an empty shell, with functioning-looking kitchen and bathroom spaces, but it is dated and clearly needs meaningful modernization. Its strongest appeal is the historic rural character and generous land, not a spectacular setting or polished finish.
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€69,000 – €123,000
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.
- Advertised as needing renovation, despite having usable rooms, floors, kitchen and bathrooms visible in the gallery.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a very large nine-room property.
- The 2,500 sqm garden and adjacent outbuilding will add substantial maintenance and possible renovation costs.
- No compelling sea, mountain, lake or village panorama is visible.
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 58/100The cluster sits in the Panaro river valley with the Panaro running through the local landscape. Immediate surroundings are low, cultivated hills (the Modenese or “Colli Modenesi” form) that slope southward toward the Apennine foothills (Appennino Tosco‑Emiliano). There is no national park inside the immediate 15 km radius. The nearest sizeable local town is Vignola a few kilometres away, with the Rocca di Vignola (a medieval fortress), local shops, markets and services; the city of Modena (provincial capital) lies to the north and provides mainline rail links and major services. Nearest alpine/tourist ski lifts are in the Tuscan‑Emilian Apennines (for example Abetone and similar resorts), roughly 90–120 minutes by car. The area is agricultural: fruit orchards (notably cherries), vineyards for local Lambrusco varieties and businesses connected to Modena’s food sector (including traditional balsamic vinegar production) are characteristic.
