See what needs doing and what each job costs
The 135 m² residential floor is completely unfinished, while much of the remaining 372 m² is described as tool storage or garage and about 22,000 m² is agricultural land. After estimated renovation, the residential portion costs roughly €1,730/m², far above the €412/m² local benchmark, with no clear statement that the storage areas can become dwellings.
More on the house and the area
A genuine Umbrian rural setting with broad mountain views, 22,000 m² of land, and attractive old brick-and-stone farmhouse character. However, this is a substantial renovation project rather than a livable home: the interiors are not presented and the property is described as completely unfinished.
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€8,850,000 – €13,074,000
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 farmhouse is explicitly a raw shell requiring complete renovation.
- No usable interiors, kitchen, or bathroom are shown; the ground floor is currently an equipment storage area.
- Large agricultural land and nearby power lines may affect privacy, planning, and long-term use.
- Renovation costs could be substantial given the 223 m² building and extensive outbuildings.
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 area sits in the inland Umbrian hills between the upper Nestore valley and the ridge country west of Lake Trasimeno. Lake Trasimeno is within about 15 km to the north-west from the Piegaro side of the territory. Monte Pausillo and the wooded hills on the Umbrian-Tuscan border are nearby. Pietrafitta, with the Museo Paleontologico Luigi Boldrini and local services, is the nearest larger settlement in the immediate area, while Città della Pieve is the nearest notable hill town of size with a preserved historic centre. This part of western Umbria is known for olive groves, woods, tobacco and mixed farming, and Piegaro itself is known for glassmaking.
