€75,000 for 517 m² is €145/m², but the group includes buildings needing partial and complete renovation. At roughly €700/m² for a blended renovation, the effective cost is about €845/m² versus local stock around €290/m², despite the garden, views and multiple independent homes.
More on the house and the area
This is a large rural compound with genuinely attractive rolling-hill views, substantial green space, vineyard/agricultural land, and rustic stone-and-beam character. The key positive is a habitable renovated section with two bedrooms and a bathroom, but much of the 517 sqm consists of buildings requiring substantial or complete renovation, so it is more a home-plus-project than a ready-made dream farmhouse.
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€102,000 – €181,000
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.
- Only one portion is described as habitable and renovated; several independent buildings need major or complete renovation.
- The agricultural sheds and outbuildings appear heavily deteriorated, with partial/open structures and accumulated debris.
- Utilities, structural condition, access, and renovation permissions are not confirmed.
- The livable section looks functional but modest and dated rather than beautifully finished.
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 area sits in the first valleys of the Piacentine Apennines, where the plain gives way to wooded ridges and cultivated hills. The Nure valley is the local landscape, with the Nure river running south from here through the Val Nure. The nearest larger town is Piacenza, which provides the main rail station, hospital, services and a substantial historic centre. South of the village the valley leads toward the higher Apennines around Bettola and Farini, but the stronger mountain scenery is farther up the valley rather than at the doorstep. This part of the province is known for mixed farming, vineyards and salumi, including the Piacentine cured-meat tradition.
