The €18,000 asking price looks low at €103/m², but this 175 m² stone farmhouse is described as a rustic shell to be converted into a home, implying roughly €192,500 in renovation and an effective cost near €1,200/m² versus €380/m² for comparable homes. The listing does not state its legal residential status, current condition, or utilities, adding execution risk.
More on the house and the area
This is a highly atmospheric stone farmhouse with spectacular mountain-valley views, covered loggias, old timber, terracotta roofs, and strong historic character. However, the interiors are very rough and deteriorated, so it is a renovation project rather than a move-in-ready home. At €18,000, the setting and character create a compelling bargain if the renovation costs are manageable.
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€69,000 – €103,000
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.
- Major renovation is needed, with peeling finishes, dated or incomplete services, and visibly worn interiors.
- The property appears to be a rustic multi-level portion rather than a finished, immediately habitable home.
- Access is via a steep hillside road, and the condition of roofs, utilities, plumbing, and legal subdivision should be verified.
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.
