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 €59,000 for 409 sqm, the asking price is just €144/sqm, but with a typical renovation budget of about €700/sqm the effective cost is roughly €844/sqm. That is far above the baseline €290/sqm for similar low-price stock in Emilia-Romagna, so despite the large size and flexibility, this looks weak on value rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, atmospheric old farmhouse with a genuinely appealing brick exterior, mature trees and a generous private yard. It has real character and scale, but the photos suggest a serious renovation project rather than an immediately usable home. Dreamy bones and land for the money, but the current wow is held back by condition and the lack of proven livable interiors.
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€81,000 – €144,000
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.

- Full renovation needed before comfortable living
- No interior photos to prove bathrooms, kitchen or finishes
- Flat rural setting is peaceful but not scenic
- Some outbuildings/sections look more worn than the main house
