What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is explicitly a judicial auction ("asta immobiliare"/"avviso di vendita"), which is an automatic veto for this catalog. The very low EUR 26/m2 is not a true bargain signal here because the lot also includes agricultural land and an abusive stable to be removed, plus one unit is only in shell condition.
More on the house and the area
This is a large rural property with plenty of land and a usable-looking main building, but it is visually plain rather than dreamy. The photos suggest one livable unit and one unfinished unit, so this is more a practical countryside project than an instant wow home. The low price for the amount of land adds some appeal, but condition and legal issues keep the score down.
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€552,000 – €979,000
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.
- One of the two residential units is only in shell condition (al grezzo).
- No interior photos of the habitable unit, so actual finish quality/livability is uncertain.
- There is an abusive stable that must be removed by the buyer.
- Auction sale with urbanistic/occupancy checks needed.
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 61/100The cluster is on the first Apennine hills south of Bologna, in the valleys cut by the Savena and nearby Idice systems, with wooded slopes, cultivated clearings and ridgelines within the local landscape. The area touches the Parco dei Gessi Bolognesi e Calanchi dell'Abbadessa, known for gypsum outcrops, sinkholes, caves and badlands. Bologna is the nearest city of size and provides the main rail, hospital, university and full services. The area is known locally for the Bolognese Apennine foothill landscape rather than for a single major monument or resort inside the immediate radius.
