The lot includes mixed ownership (piena proprietà e quote di 1/2) and several rural/warehouse buildings, making legal conversion and clear title tricky; that partial ownership alone makes this a risky purchase. Price €13,672 for 490 m² (≈€28/m²) with a modest renovation estimate of €200/m² yields an effective ≈€228/m² vs local median €375/m², but the ownership/usage issues dominate the assessment.
More on the house and the area
Very cheap farmhouse on a flat plot with substantial outbuildings and ~2,840 m² of land — a clear bargain for someone after space. The small 85 m² house is rough-but-partially-habitable; the large barns are essentially shells needing heavy work and permit-driven conversions. Good project for a hands-on buyer, not a move-in-ready dream home.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€32,000 – €55,000
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.
- Main living unit is very basic and needs substantial interior renovation.
- Extensive barns/outbuildings are semi-derelict and will require structural work to reuse or convert.
- Roofing appears to be corrugated fibrocement/asbestos — removal/replace can be costly and regulated.
- Conversion of agricultural structures may require permits and significant expense; utilities and finishes are incomplete.
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

The Ticino River and the Parco Lombardo della Valle del Ticino lie within reach to the east, with river woods and wetland landscapes around the valley. The nearest larger town is Pavia, which has a substantial historic centre, services and rail links. The area is known for rice cultivation.
