See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €23,000 for 92 sqm the ask is €250/sqm, but the home is explicitly 'completamente da ristrutturare', so I estimate about €1,100/sqm renovation, bringing effective cost to roughly €1,350/sqm versus a very low local baseline of €290/sqm. The large outbuildings and land add some value, but 736 days on market is a strong negative and suggests buyers are rejecting this price/complexity.
More on the house and the area
The stone farmhouse frontage is genuinely charming, with ivy, shutters, beams and a pretty old-borgo setting that feels atmospheric and photogenic. But the interior is very tired: it has floors, stairs, roof and a bathroom, yet visible damp, cracks and obsolete finishes mean this is a real renovation project rather than an easy home. The low price helps the appeal, but the wow is mostly exterior character, not current livability.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€36,000 – €54,000
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 area around
Location score 58/100The area is in the first Apennine hills south of Reggio Emilia, with wooded ridges, small valleys and mixed farmland. The Tresinaro valley is the local reference landscape.
