The listing calls the building an "ex rustico collabente" (a collapsed/dilapidated ruin). I estimate full restoration ≈ €1,100/m² → ~€814k on 740 m², so effective price ≈ €912k (~€1,232/m²), a veto-level risk unless recovery/usable status is legally confirmed.
More on the house and the area
Very photogenic historic farmhouse with brick arches and about 19,000 m² of surrounding land — strong rural setting and excellent renovation potential. Reality is a dilapidated, collabente building (needs major work) and some photos are AI restorations, so this is a project rather than a move-in 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€293,000 – €433,000
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 described as 'ex rustico collabente' — substantial/full renovation likely required
- Several listing images are AI-generated illustrative restorations, not current condition
- No interior photos shown — likely no finished floors/rooms/fittings; verify utilities and permits
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.
