This is explicitly an auction listing ('ASTA IMMOBILIARE'), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. Although the ask is only €211/m² versus a €387/m² baseline, auction risk overrides the apparent discount.
More on the house and the area
There is some rustic appeal in the big farmhouse form, portico and surrounding land, and the price-per-square-metre is eye-catching. But the photos show mostly raw agricultural spaces, neglected rooms and heavy work ahead rather than a genuinely usable home. It feels like a renovation project with potential, not a ready dream house.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/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€24,000 – €41,000
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.
- Rural farmhouse needs major renovation and clearing-out.
- Interiors look more like barns/storage than ready living space.
- Bathroom provision is minimal/unclear from photos.
- Auction sale: documentation and condition should be checked carefully.
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 58/100This is on the Romagna plain close to the Adriatic coast and the Canal Port of Cesenatico, the historic canal associated with Leonardo da Vinci, is the main local feature. The coast here is low and sandy, with beaches, pinewoods and the saline wetland area around Cervia within the wider 15 km zone. Rimini and Cesena are the nearest larger centres for services, rail links and hospitals. The area is known for seaside tourism, fishing and flat agricultural land behind the coast.
