In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Priced at 608 EUR/m2 versus a local median of 305 EUR/m2, so nominally 2x baseline, but that median is unusually low and the property includes 2 hectares (20,000 sqm) of flat land, a rare asset that alone likely justifies much of the 45k price. It's a portion of a farmhouse ('porzione di casale') needing internal renovation, three independent entrances suit B&B use, and it comes with cellar, fireplace, garage, wood oven, and outbuildings. Fresh listing (3 days), decent photos (10). Energy class and sea distance missing. At ~500 EUR/m2 renovation for a habitable-but-dated 74 sqm, total investment stays reasonable. The land component makes the effective building price attractive. Habitable structure, not a ruin. Solid value for a rural income/lifestyle property.
More on the house and the area
Rustic Umbrian farmhouse portion in the green Valnerina near a river, priced low at 45k (608 eur/m2). The genuine draw is the natural setting: dense green woodland, hillside backdrop, and a claimed 2ha of flat land, plus a traditional stone wood-fired oven. However, the property presents as run-down: cluttered courtyard with trash bins, jury-rigged green metal awnings, overgrown vegetation, and plain, dated interiors needing full renovation. The orange trumpet-vine flowers add charm to one shot but the overall impression is of a neglected fixer-upper rather than a stunning offering. Nature and the bargain price provide modest wow; interiors and exterior condition do not.
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€9,000 – €14,000
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.
