At €49,000 for 240 m², the headline price is attractive, but the former stables, haylofts and storage areas suggest substantial renovation; at an estimated €700/m², the effective cost is about €904/m² versus a local reference of €380/m². The listing does not specify the building condition, construction year, energy performance or which spaces are legally habitable.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial traditional Lombard cascina with aged plaster, tiled roofs, old shutters, barred windows and a large enclosed courtyard on approximately 600 sqm of land. The scale, historic character and €49,000 price are appealing, but the photos show a renovation-heavy property dominated by former stables and storage spaces rather than a ready-to-live-in 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€48,000 – €84,000
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.
- Substantial renovation appears necessary, especially to the former stables, barns and courtyard structures.
- No interior living spaces are shown, so current habitability, utilities and structural condition are uncertain.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a 240 sqm property with five bedrooms.
- The property fronts a village road and has limited privacy on the main facade.
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.
