At €39,000 (€433/m²), the house is already above the local €283/m² benchmark; allowing roughly €700/m² for the stated renovation brings the effective cost to about €1,133/m². The 6,000 m² of land, garage, cellar and fireplace add value, but the listing does not establish that they justify this renovation-adjusted price.
More on the house and the area
This €39,000 farmhouse has a photogenic rural façade, traditional timber ceilings, tiled floors, a garage and a substantial 6,000 m² plot. However, the real interiors are clearly in renovation condition, with damaged plaster, debris and unfinished rooms, so it is a project rather than a move-in-ready dream home.
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€18,000 – €32,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- The genuine photos show extensive peeling plaster, debris and largely unfinished interiors, despite the attractive staged images.
- A full renovation is likely, including walls, finishes and possibly systems; the single bathroom and utilities should be verified.
- The 6,000 m² of land adds appeal but also creates ongoing maintenance responsibilities.
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.
