The €38,000 asking price is attractive at €215/m², about 30% below comparable local stock, and the private access plus 3,800 m² garden add value. However, the listing does not state the property's condition; allowing roughly €700/m² for renovation brings the effective cost to about €915/m².
More on the house and the area
A substantial farmhouse with a generous 3,800 sqm garden, mature trees, and attractive open countryside around Treia. The roofed main structure looks like a real house rather than a ruin, but the worn exterior, neglected grounds, and absence of interior photos suggest meaningful renovation may be needed before comfortable living.
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€35,000 – €62,000
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.
- The main house appears roofed and structurally present, but the interior is not shown, so actual livability and renovation needs are unclear.
- Exterior plaster, the staircase, and surrounding outbuildings show significant age and deferred maintenance.
- The large garden is heavily overgrown and the agricultural sheds appear rough or partly deteriorated.
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.
