The description explicitly says this is a 'PORZIONE di rustico' and 'NON ABITABILE e COMPLETAMENTE DA RISTRUTTURARE', so it is both a partial unit and currently not legally/actually livable. At €60,000 for 292 sqm the ask is only €205/sqm, but with a full-restore estimate of about €1,100/sqm the effective cost is roughly €1,305/sqm, far above the €297/sqm baseline.
More on the house and the area
The wow here is the setting: open vineyard-and-hills views, a peaceful Val d’Illasi position, and a generous green plot around the farmhouse portion. But this is not a ready home—the listing explicitly says it is non-habitable and completely to renovate, so the dream is strong while the current livability is low. At €60k for 292 sqm the value helps, yet this is still mainly a scenic renovation project rather than a house you could move into soon.
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€116,000 – €171,000
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.
