What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €99,000 for 250 sqm, the asking price is just €396/sqm, but with a realistic renovation allowance of about €650/sqm the effective cost is roughly €1,046/sqm. That is far above the local sub-€100k baseline of €395/sqm, though the redone roof and 21 photos support that it is a real, substantial renovation project rather than a trap.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, real farmhouse-style property with some authentic rural character, especially the vaulted stable with columns and the generous outdoor space. The roof appears maintained and the upper floor looks basically habitable but tired, while much of the ground floor is still rough agricultural space needing substantial work. More potential than instant dream home.
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, €650/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€50,000 – €88,000
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 39/100This is the flat Romagna plain between the Santerno and Senio rivers, with farmland, drainage canals and scattered villages. Ravenna is the nearest city of size, with services, a railway hub and the early Christian monuments recognised by UNESCO. The Adriatic coast around Marina di Ravenna and the pinewoods of the Ravenna coast are outside the immediate radius but part of everyday logistics. The area is known for intensive agriculture and fruit growing.
