See what needs doing and what each job costs
Despite 'Renovated' label, the description explicitly states both ground floor and basement are for agricultural storage use ('uso deposito agricolo'), not habitable living space. This is a reinforced-concrete storage structure on 5,000 sqm of flat farmland, not a residential home. The 'Renovated' condition contradicts the reality of a storage building. Price at 375 EUR/m2 vs baseline median of 697 looks cheap, but the baseline assumes residential property while this is essentially land plus an agricultural shed. Converting to habitable dwelling requires change of use permits (often impossible for agricultural buildings) plus full residential fit-out. Zero beds/baths confirms non-residential status. High risk for anyone expecting a livable farmhouse.
More on the house and the area
Photos show an incomplete reinforced-concrete frame (pillars and slabs, no walls or roof) sitting on a flat ~5,000 sqm green plot backed by wooded hills near Ferentino, Lazio. The main appeal is the generous, gently sloping-to-flat land and the pleasant hillside greenery, not the structure itself, which is a bare skeleton. No stunning interior or exterior exists to speak of. The setting is calm and rural but ordinary for the area, and the building requires full completion. Modest natural-setting appeal only.
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, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€18,000 – €31,000
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.
- Not a finished home — bare reinforced-concrete skeleton/frame only
- 'Renovated' condition label contradicts photos showing an unfinished shell
- No walls, roof, or usable interior; described as agricultural deposit use
- No rooms, beds, or baths
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.
