At €100,000 for 200 m², the estimated renovation budget brings the effective cost to about €1,600/m², far above the local €290/m² benchmark. The listing describes a completely derelict rustic portion with stable, hayloft and land, but does not state that it is legally habitable or provide bathrooms, bedrooms or utilities.
More on the house and the area
The mountain-valley setting, surrounding land, stone walls, old rural details, and traditional oven give this farmhouse genuine rustic character. However, the interiors are dark, worn, and partly agricultural/storage space, with no bathroom listed; this is a major renovation project rather than a ready-to-live-in 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€79,000 – €117,000
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.

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 72/100The cluster sits in the Tuscan‑Emilian (northern) Apennines; Monte Cimone (2,165 m), the highest peak of the northern Apennines, is within roughly 10–12 km. The locality is in the Frignano valley; the Scoltenna stream runs through Fanano’s valley. Monte Cimone supports a developed ski area with lifts and winter‑sports facilities on its slopes; those lifts are reachable by about 10–15 km of mountain road from Fanano. The surrounding landscape is predominantly mixed beech and chestnut woodland with mountain pastures and forest roads. Nearby small mountain resorts include Sestola to the north‑east; the larger service town on the Modena side is Pavullo nel Frignano, reached by regional roads and providing broader shops and services. The area’s economy and land use include mountain tourism (hiking, mountain biking, skiing), forestry and small‑scale mountain agriculture.
