Porzione di casa con ampio terreno, garage e vista panoramica a Montese

La soluzione è composta da:…
What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €47,000 for 80 sqm, the ask is €588/sqm; with light habitable-modernization work estimated at ~€300/sqm, the effective cost is about €888/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €467/sqm. Good positives are the garage, panoramic setting and owned land, but on the numbers this is not a discount deal after renovation.
More on the house and the area
This has genuine rustic appeal outside, with stone walls, a country setting and the feel of a real old mountain house rather than a shell. Inside it is plainly habitable with kitchen, bathroom, heating and bedrooms, but it is simple and tired, so the dream here is a usable cheap home with character that would benefit from refreshing rather than a polished wow house.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€8,000 – €13,000
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.
- Interiors are habitable but very dated and need modernization.
- Some finishes and stairs look basic/rough rather than fully refined.
- Panoramic setting is mentioned, but the photos only show it partially.
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 67/100The cluster is in the northern Apennines, in the hill and low-mountain country between the Reno and Panaro valleys. Around Castel d'Aiano the landscape is wooded ridges, fields and small hamlets, and the Regional Park of Monte Sole lies within about 15 km to the east. South of here the highest part of the Bolognese Apennines rises around Corno alle Scale, but the ski lifts are beyond the 15 km radius and are a longer drive rather than part of the immediate setting. The nearest town of some size is Vergato, with daily services and rail access down the Reno valley toward Bologna. This part of the Apennines is known for chestnut woods, hiking and the Gothic Line sites of the Second World War.
