At €630/m² before works, this is already well above the local €367/m² benchmark. With estimated renovation costs of about €89,600 (€700/m²), the effective price rises to roughly €1,330/m², with no strong location premium to offset it.
More on the house and the area
This is a large independent rural property with 128 m² of living space, two balconies, a garden, and an unusually substantial agricultural landholding. However, the home is unfinished and requires significant renovation, with no heating and no verified bathrooms, so it is better viewed as a major countryside project than a ready-to-live-in 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€25,000 – €45,000
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 property is explicitly in poor maintenance condition and lacks interior finishes, so it is not move-in ready.
- No heating or air conditioning is installed, and bathrooms/utilities are not confirmed in the provided details.
- The 28-hectare agricultural landholding is attractive in principle, but the gallery does not show the land or any scenic views.
- This is a judicial auction with renovation and legal due-diligence requirements.
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.
