Rustico con portico alto 8,85 m — progetto loft o duplex, corte e verde privati
In complesso rurale in corso di frazionamento, proponiamo una porzione di rustico: un portico di 129 mq con altezza interna di 8,85 metri, volume raro che apre possibilità progettuali che una casa tradizionale non consente. L'altezza permette due strade. La prima è un'abitazione in stile loft su un unico livello a…
What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €48,000 (€372/m²), this is only superficially aligned with the €380/m² baseline: the description identifies a 129 m² rural portico/rustico requiring substantial conversion, while also citing just 88 m² of commercial area. At an estimated €1,100/m² renovation cost, effective cost is roughly €1,470–€1,960/m², with habitability, permissions and exact surface unclear.
More on the house and the area
The property has appealing rural views, generous private outdoor space and attractive rustic details such as exposed masonry, timber beams and terracotta roofs. However, the photos show an open agricultural structure rather than a usable house, so it is a substantial conversion project despite the low price.
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€51,000 – €76,000
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.
- This is an unfinished rustic shell/portico, not a move-in-ready home.
- Major conversion work is needed, including floors, utilities, kitchen and bathrooms.
- The shared access road and proposed subdivision may require careful legal and planning checks.
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.
