Despite the low €274/m² price versus the €416/m² Lombardia baseline, this is explicitly an ASTA IMMOBILIARE and includes agricultural courts, stables, haylofts, deposits, and agricultural land. The advertised 219 m² apartment is only one component of a mixed agricultural compendium, so legal use, ownership scope, and actual dwelling value require tribunal-document verification.
More on the house and the area
A large rural Lombardy farmhouse with appealing historic proportions, wooden shutters, a decorative cornice, and a traditional chimney. It is described as habitable, but the weathered facade, lack of listed bathrooms, and substantial agricultural/storage space make this more of a practical restoration opportunity than a ready-made dream home.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€15,000 – €25,000
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.
- Auction purchase with legal, financing, and documentation risks.
- The exterior appears weathered, and the listing reports no bathrooms despite calling it habitable.
- Much of the 219 sqm appears to be agricultural outbuildings, stables, haylofts, and storage rather than finished living space.
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 34/100This is the lower Po plain around the Po River, with flat agricultural land, drainage canals and embanked roads. The Po is the main named landscape feature within reach. Mantova is the nearest major city of size, with a historic centre and services, but it is outside the immediate area. This part of the province is known for intensive farming and for the lowland river plain landscape between Lombardy and Veneto.
