In the listingNeeds renovation- On the market for a long time
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a 2,650 sqm farmhouse listed at €60,000 (€23/sqm), but it is explicitly a rustico/casale da ristrutturare with 25,500 sqm of agricultural land, so the quoted €/sqm is likely distorted by land/buildability rather than a normal livable house price. With heavy restoration at about €1,100/sqm, effective cost is far above the €290/sqm low-stock baseline, and it has been on the market for 1,737 days, a major negative signal.
More on the house and the area
This is a large rural farmhouse with plenty of land and a simple, honest countryside setting. But the house shown is clearly a serious renovation project rather than a usable home, with visible exterior decay and signs of roof damage. The low price and 25,500 sqm help, yet the dream here is more about potential than immediate livable wow.
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€1,049,000 – €1,550,000
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.

- Major renovation needed; roof and upper structure look compromised.
- No interior photos, so kitchen/bath/liveability are unproven.
- Flat agricultural setting is spacious but not scenic or distinctive.
- Likely practical/legal checks needed on rebuild/use of the large plot and buildable area.
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.
The area around
Location score 43/100The area lies on the Po plain beside the Po River, with reclaimed farmland, irrigation channels and embankments as the dominant landscape. Gualtieri is known for its planned Renaissance piazza and for links to Antonio Ligabue. Guastalla is the nearest town of some size and provides the usual services and rail connections, while Reggio Emilia is the main city for higher-level services farther south. This is lowland countryside rather than a hill or mountain setting.
