What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €500/m², the €60,000 price is near the €492/m² baseline, but the interior is explicitly in a raw unfinished state, adding an estimated €700/m² and bringing effective cost to about €1,200/m². The claim of renovation in 2017 conflicts with the unfinished interior, despite the garden, parking and pool amenities.
More on the house and the area
A colorful former farmhouse surrounded by mature trees, a large private garden, gazebo, and open cultivated countryside makes a very appealing rural setting. The roof and main façade look solid, and the old brick-vaulted spaces offer character, but the interior is largely unfinished rather than a ready-to-live-in home. At €60,000 it has strong project potential, but renovation will be central to the dream.
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€24,000 – €42,000
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 interior is explicitly described as being in a raw, unfinished state, with visible construction materials and incomplete rooms.
- The property appears to sit directly beside a road, so traffic noise and privacy should be checked.
- The attractive main exterior may overstate the actual move-in readiness of the whole 120 sqm.
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 33/100This is the flat central Po plain between the Secchia basin and the lower courses of the Modenese and Mantuan rivers, with intensive farmland, drainage canals and scattered hamlets as the dominant landscape. The nearest town of size within daily use is Carpi, which has a large historic centre and services; Modena is farther south. The area is known for Emilia’s agricultural plain, with production tied to fields, dairying and the wider food economy of the Po valley.
