The listing is for a two-storey stable with an annex and 2,300 m² of land, explicitly requiring renovation; it does not say the building is legally convertible into a dwelling. At €50,000, estimated renovation brings the building cost to roughly €1,776/m², and the agricultural use makes this unsuitable as a straightforward home purchase.
More on the house and the area
The stone farmhouse has genuine rustic character, expansive green grounds, and beautiful wooded mountain views. However, this is a two-storey stable with an annex and roughly 2,300 m² of land, explicitly sold for renovation; the gallery shows no finished living spaces or bathroom, so it is a substantial conversion project rather than a usable home.
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€29,000 – €43,000
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.
- Advertised as a stable/farm building to renovate, not a move-in home.
- No bathroom is listed, and the interiors appear storage-like rather than habitable.
- Access, utilities, roof condition, and permissions for residential conversion need verification.
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 68/100The cluster sits in the northern Apennines (Appennino Tosco‑Emiliano / Appennino modenese). The immediate surroundings are upland mountain terrain of the Frignano district with beech and chestnut woodland, mountain pastures and small tributary streams. The area lies inside the broader Secchia river basin (headwater tributaries of the Secchia run through the local valleys). The nearest ski lifts serving the northern Apennines are at the Monte Cimone / Sestola ski area (drive roughly 30–50 minutes depending on road and season). The nearest larger local town is Pavullo nel Frignano, which provides shops, municipal services and weekly markets for the upper Frignano area. There is no UNESCO site or national-park designation on the town itself; the location is part of the traditional upland farming and forestry landscape of the Tuscan‑Emilian Apennines.
