Listing price €80,000 plus an estimated €700/m² renovation (240 m²) gives an effective cost of ~€1,033/m², well above the regional baseline of €500/m². The property has good agriturismo potential but has been on the market 2022 days, which is a strong negative signal.
More on the house and the area
A solid 19th‑century stone farmhouse with original beams, a large rustic fireplace and a superb terrace view over the Lunigiana mountains. The building looks structurally sound with many usable rooms now, but interiors are dated and cluttered and will need renovation and system upgrades. Great, affordable project for someone wanting a character home or small holiday/agriturismo business.
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€48,000 – €84,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Property needs renovation and serious decluttering — rooms are lived-in and dated.
- Bathrooms and finishes are old and will require modernization.
- Verify plumbing/electrics/heating and any permits if you plan agriturismo use.

The area around
Location score 68/100The cluster is in the northern Tuscan Apennines, with wooded ridges and valley slopes around Comano and the upper Lunigiana. The Taverone valley is the local landscape, and the Magra basin is close by. The area is associated with the Parco Nazionale dell'Appennino Tosco-Emiliano on the Apennine crest to the east. Cerreto Laghi, the nearest established ski area on the Apennine pass, is roughly an hour's drive. Aulla is the nearest larger service town, with rail links and the main shops and services of the Lunigiana. Lunigiana is known for stone villages, chestnut country and a dense spread of medieval castles across its valleys.
