In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €38,000, the stated renovation need implies an effective cost of about €885/m², well above the local benchmark of €306/m². The listing also says the former dwelling requires a change of use and gives inconsistent areas: 205 m² in the facts versus 170 m² plus 43 m² and 100 m² of annexes.
More on the house and the area
This is a generous Marche farmhouse with an appealing rural setting, private access, mature trees, open countryside, and 3,800 sqm of land at a very low price. The main house has an intact roof and recognizable residential form, but the exterior is tired and the annexes are seriously run-down. It feels like a promising countryside project rather than a ready-to-live-in dream home.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€41,000 – €72,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- The property clearly needs renovation, with weathered facades, overgrown grounds, and deteriorated farm outbuildings.
- The main 170 sqm house reportedly requires a change of use before residential occupation.
- No interior photos are provided, so kitchen, bathroom, utilities, and actual livability cannot be verified.
- The 3,800 sqm garden is attractive but currently unmanaged and will require substantial clearing and upkeep.
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.
