At €40,000 (€133/m²), this is a 300 m² C/2 storage/magazzino, not a legal dwelling. The description says habitation would require demolition and reconstruction, making the apparent discount unsuitable for a move-in home or straightforward renovation project.
More on the house and the area
The main appeal is the substantial 3,000 sqm rural lot and open countryside setting, together with a large 300 sqm structure. However, this is fundamentally a warehouse/deposit rather than a livable farmhouse, and the photos show a utilitarian, improvised interior with no convincing residential finish. Its potential lies in a future rebuild, not in an immediately usable Italian home.
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€119,000 – €176,000
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 a C/2 storage/warehouse property, not a legally recognized home.
- Residential use would likely require demolition and reconstruction, with planning approvals and significant costs.
- The property appears rustic and cluttered, with no clearly demonstrated residential bathroom or kitchen setup.
- Access is through a shared courtyard, which may limit privacy and practical use.
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 82/100San Giorgio Bigarello lies on the flat Po Valley plain immediately east of the city of Mantova. The Mincio River and the three artificial lakes that ring Mantova (Lago Superiore, Lago di Mezzo, Lago Inferiore) are within the local area and the river corridor and wetlands are covered by the Parco del Mincio (regional park). The landscape around the cluster is lowland agricultural country with a network of irrigation canals and fields and local livestock farming. There are no mountains or ski facilities within about 15 km. Mantova is the nearest town of size, within a few kilometres, and contains the Ducal Palace (Palazzo Ducale), cathedral, museums and a historic centre; Mantova (with Sabbioneta) has UNESCO World Heritage status. Mantova also provides the nearest rail and road links and most local services and shops.
