What it really costs
- Land, with no house on it
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €65,000 listing is primarily 12,000 m² of agricultural land with a “rustico colabente,” indicating a collapsed ruin rather than a legally habitable farmhouse. At 500 m², restoration would be roughly €550,000 before addressing potential planning constraints.
More on the house and the area
The property offers a large, private agricultural setting with open countryside views and plenty of land. However, the farmhouse is an overgrown collapsing ruin rather than a livable home, so this is a substantial rebuild project and not a ready-to-own Italian house.
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€198,000 – €293,000
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 listing describes the structure as a collapsing rural ruin (rustico colabente).
- The building is heavily overgrown and appears uninhabitable, with no visible usable interior.
- Major reconstruction, utilities, permits, and access should be verified; the price mainly reflects the 12,000 sqm land parcel.
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.
