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 €59,000 for 120 sqm, the asking price is €492/sqm; with partial renovation/habitable condition I estimate about €300/sqm renovation, for an effective cost near €792/sqm. That sits well above this catalog baseline of €465/sqm in Emilia-Romagna, but the large size, garage, 3,000 sqm land and decent listing quality keep it in the good/fair range rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
There is some appeal in the stone setting, hillside outlook and the extra land/outbuildings, so it has rural potential rather than pure beauty. The main house appears roofed and basically usable, with bedrooms and bathrooms in place, but interiors are plain, dark and tired with visible damp/wear. This feels more like a modest semi-habitable farmhouse project than a dream-home scroll stopper.
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€12,000 – €20,000
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 very basic and dated, with signs of damp and patchy walls.
- Only part of the property looks habitable; barn/stable spaces are rough utility/agricultural areas.
- Likely needs meaningful modernization before it feels comfortable to live in.
- Photos do not clearly show a usable fitted kitchen despite the listing mentioning one.
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 76/100The northern Apennines are the landscape here, with the high ridge around Monte Cimone and the upper Scoltenna valley within the local area. The Parco del Frignano covers much of this part of the Modenese Apennines. The nearest ski lifts are those of Monte Cimone, around Passo del Lupo and Le Polle, reached in roughly 15–25 minutes by road depending on the base station. Pavullo nel Frignano is the nearest larger town with the main local services; farther down the valley Modena is the main city connection. This area is known for mountain pasture, beech woods, chestnut country and winter sports around Cimone.
