At €39,000 plus roughly €24,500 in renovation, the effective cost is about €1,814/m²—over four times the local comparison level of €391/m². This 35 m² rustic property has no bathroom and is described with agricultural land, so residential usability and legal status require careful verification.
More on the house and the area
The property has a generous rural setting with attractive traditional dry-stone walls, a stone well, and established greenery. However, the 35 sqm building is an unfinished shell with no bathroom or usable interior, making this a substantial renovation project rather than a home someone could realistically occupy soon.
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€7,000 – €12,000
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 main building is an unfinished concrete shell with open window and door openings.
- No bathroom, kitchen, or livable interior is shown; substantial renovation and utility installation will be needed.
- The agricultural land and traditional dry-stone walls/well add character, but there is no notable view or polished outdoor living area.
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.
