The description points to non-residential/agricultural space: 'terreno agricolo', 'cantina storica', and especially 'tre locali sgombero e porticato', with only 'tre camere' upstairs and no bathrooms stated. At €98,000 for 270 sqm it looks cheap at €363/sqm vs €263 baseline, but with major conversion/renovation risk (about €1,100/sqm) and doubtful habitability, this is a veto case.
More on the house and the area
This is a handsome, authentic Piedmont farmhouse with real character, a broad brick facade, historic cellar potential, and pleasing vineyard-and-hill views toward a hilltop borgo. The roof appears in place and the structure looks solid, but the lack of interior photos and zero listed bathrooms make it feel more like a substantial renovation project than a move-in home. Dreamy setting and strong bones lift it, yet current usability remains clearly limited.
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€107,000 – €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.
- No bathrooms shown/listed, so it is not currently a ready home.
- Interiors are not shown; livability and finish level are uncertain.
- Busy roadside position reduces romance and privacy.
- Large attached outbuilding/yard areas look semi-raw and may need substantial work.
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.
