This 388 m² property is being sold by judicial auction at a €24,040 minimum offer, so it is excluded despite the headline price. It is also in an unfinished, heavily abandoned condition with humidity, cracks, missing fixtures, incomplete systems and compromised windows; at roughly €1,100/m² to restore, renovation could exceed €426,000.
More on the house and the area
The local-stone exterior, brick arch, covered porticos, and wooded rural setting offer the beginnings of a characterful mountain home at an unusually low price. However, the interiors are raw and abandoned, with bare floors, cracks, damp, incomplete systems, and no realistic move-in condition; this is a major renovation project rather than a livable villa.
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€154,000 – €227,000
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 property is an unfinished shell with no finished floors, internal doors, completed electrical system, or heating generator.
- Visible cracks, damp marks, damaged or missing windows, and general abandonment suggest substantial renovation and possible structural assessment.
- The surrounding land is steep, overgrown, and accessed via a rough path from a secondary road.
- No usable bathroom or kitchen is shown in the gallery despite the stated room count.
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 68/100The cluster is in the northern Apennines, with the Tuscan-Emilian Apennine ridges around Monte Venere and Monte Adone shaping the immediate landscape.

Monte Adone, south of Monzuno, is a known sandstone outcrop and hiking destination within the local area. Bologna is the nearest city of size, with full services, rail links and the airport. The area is known for Apennine walking routes including stretches connected with the Via degli Dei between Bologna and Florence.
