The €60,000 property is explicitly a rural stable, hayloft, storage and agricultural utility building, not a legal dwelling, with 184 m² requiring complete renovation. Its €326/m² asking price is misleading because conversion to residential use is not established and the listing includes agricultural land.
More on the house and the area
This has some authentic rural character, exposed brick, old roof timbers, and a generous grassy plot in a small Emilia-Romagna borgo. However, it is a completely unrestored stable and hayloft rather than a usable home, with no interior living spaces shown; it is a substantial conversion project.
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€73,000 – €108,000
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.
- Explicitly a rural stable and hayloft, not a dwelling.
- Completely to be renovated, with no bathrooms, kitchen, or living accommodation shown.
- Roof structure and outbuildings appear significantly deteriorated; verify conversion rights and utilities.
- The 1,300 sqm land is open and attractive but largely unlandscaped.
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 59/100The cluster lies in the first Apennine hills west of Bologna, in a landscape of ridges, small valleys, woodland, vineyards and mixed farmland. The Samoggia valley is the main local river corridor. The area is known for wine, especially the Colli Bolognesi hills, and for agricultural countryside on the Bologna-Modena side of Emilia. Bazzano, one of the main centres nearby, has a hilltop fortress above the town. Bologna is the nearest major city and provides the full range of services, rail connections and airport access, but it is outside the immediate landscape score.
