What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €75,000 (€500/m²), the property is explicitly described as needing renovation; allowing roughly €1,100/m² brings the effective cost to about €1,600/m², far above comparable local stock around €297/m². The 2,500 m² of land and proximity to Guiglia’s center add value, but do not offset the substantial renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
This is a photogenic rural farmhouse with authentic stone and brick walls, old shutters, timber beams, a fireplace, and a generous wooded 2,500 m² setting. The roof, floors, kitchen area, and bathroom structure appear present, but the house is clearly a serious renovation project rather than a move-in-ready 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€59,000 – €88,000
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 is needed; the property is explicitly sold as a rustic house to restore.
- Interiors are very dated, with basic finishes and uncertain modern utility systems.
- Access is via a rural gravel track, and the panoramic view is not clearly demonstrated in the gallery.
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 68/100Foothills of the Modenese Apennines (Appennino modenese) rise within about 15 km of the town. The Panaro river runs through the local valley and is the immediate landscape feature. The area is agricultural: orchards, vineyards and smallholdings are common on the surrounding hills. Nearby towns include Vignola (short drive), known locally for fruit production, and the provincial capital Modena with major services and rail connections about 20–25 km away. There are no significant ski lifts inside a 15 km radius; higher-Apennine ski areas require a longer drive. The locality lies inside the broader Modena food-production area associated with traditional balsamic vinegar and regional agri-food activity.
