I estimate €700/m² (≈€52,500 total) in renovation, so effective price ≈€150,500 or ≈€2,007/m² vs the local median €290/m², making this expensive for the market. The ad says a change of destination of use is required to make it a home and gives no build year or energy class.
More on the house and the area
Attractive brick farmhouse with handsome arched loggia and an intact roof set on a small private green plot near Parma. The building is an open, unfinished shell that would need a formal change of use and complete renovation before it could be lived in — great as a project, not move-in ready.
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€15,000 – €27,000
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.

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 55/100This is in the built-up area of Parma on the Po plain. The Parma and Taro river corridors are the main nearby natural features, with flat farmland and low alluvial ground around the city. The nearest larger landscape change is the start of the Apennine foothills south of the city, but that lies outside the immediate urban area. Parma is a major provincial capital with a large historic centre, Romanesque and Renaissance monuments, rail links, hospitals, universities and full city services. The area is known for Parmigiano Reggiano and Prosciutto di Parma.
