Why this price is what it is

This 386 m² farmhouse is explicitly a ruin to be rebuilt: estimated total costs reach about €522,000, or €1,351/m² including purchase, versus €405/m² for comparable local homes. The 4,700 m² grounds and redevelopment potential add value, but the restoration burden makes the asking price weak for a residential buyer.

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

This is a characterful old Emilia-Romagna farmhouse with attractive brickwork, mature trees, and a very generous green court of about 4,700 sqm. However, it is clearly a collabente ruin rather than a livable home: the roof and interiors appear substantially failed, so its appeal is primarily as a major reconstruction project.

Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.

Materials only, work you may do yourself€153,000 – €226,000

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.

What worries us about this house
  • The property is a derelict farmhouse requiring complete reconstruction, with visibly damaged or missing roof sections and unusable interiors.
  • No move-in-ready living space is shown; utilities, structural integrity, and reconstruction costs require careful verification.
  • The plot fronts a provincial road and has high visibility, which may limit privacy and create traffic noise.

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 55/100

This is on the Romagna plain at the foot of the first Apennine hills, with cultivated land around the city and low hills beginning to the south toward Brisighella and the Lamone valley. The Lamone river runs through Faenza. Faenza is a substantial town with a historic centre, rail links and services, and it is known nationally for ceramic production; its name gave rise to the French faïence. Brisighella, within this radius, is a preserved hill town with the Via degli Asini and the three rocky pinnacles above the centre, and it is listed among I Borghi più belli d'Italia and holds the Bandiera Arancione. The nearest Adriatic coast is outside the 15 km landscape radius and does not affect the score.
