Why this price is what it is

This is a judicial auction including agricultural buildings, a laboratory, storage areas and other non-residential spaces, so the full 530 m² cannot be treated as a normal dwelling. Although the advertised price is €170/m² versus €533/m² for comparable stock, the auction and mixed-use legal profile make it unsuitable for a straightforward habitable-home purchase.

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

A substantial Tuscan countryside villa with attractive local-stone walls, balconies, shutters, mature greenery and a large rural estate. The main residence looks structurally intact and potentially livable after updating, but the surrounding agricultural and workshop buildings are much more utilitarian and visibly weathered. At €90,000 for 530 m², it has strong project-and-space appeal, though the auction format adds practical complexity.

Minimum to live in it€350–500/m²
€186,000 – €265,000

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.

Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.

Turnkey, facade and insulation included.

Materials only, work you may do yourself€105,000 – €186,000

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.

What worries us about this house
  • The main house appears usable but dated, with visible exterior weathering and no interior photos to confirm its condition.
  • The property includes extensive laboratory, agricultural and ancillary buildings, so renovation and maintenance may be substantial.
  • It is sold through a judicial auction, requiring careful review of the legal file, access arrangements and shared courtyards.

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

This is the hilly Valdera countryside, with cultivated ridges, small woods, ravines and scattered farmhouses between the lower Arno plain and the interior hills. The Era river runs through this part of the province. Volterra is the nearest major historic hill town in the wider area and Pisa is the nearest city of size, with full services and rail connections.
