What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €95,000 for 450 sqm the ask is only €211/sqm, below the local stock baseline of €264/sqm, but the property is explicitly a recovery project and adding about €700/sqm renovation pushes the effective cost to roughly €911/sqm. Two large rustici plus land and the option to create up to 3 units add some upside, but as a buyer-ready home this is not especially cheap once works are included.
More on the house and the area
This has a very appealing farmhouse feel: long tiled roofs, brick porticoes, a big lawn and open rural edges give it real country-home charm. The structures look solid and roofed, but the gallery shows mostly exterior and barn-like spaces rather than a ready home, so it feels more like a substantial renovation project than a move-in dream house. The low price for 450 sqm boosts the fantasy, but the wow is practical-rustic rather than spectacular.
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€89,000 – €158,000
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.

- Large barn/storage volumes may not all be residential space
- Courtyard setting is pleasant but not scenic or private in a dramatic way
