300 m² farmhouse at €70k but needs full renovation; estimated €700/m² → effective price ≈ €280k or ~€933/m², well above the regional baseline of €375/m², so this looks overpriced given the scope of works.
More on the house and the area
Large fenced plot (≈1,200 m²) with a 300 m² two‑storey house and substantial outbuildings/garages, but the whole complex is run‑down and requires significant work. Good value as a conversion or business+home project, but not a move‑in ready, dreamy countryside home.
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€59,000 – €105,000
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 38/100This is the lower Po plain on the Po River, with flat agricultural land, poplar groves and embankments around the river. The area is part of the floodplain landscape between Casalmaggiore and the Oglio confluence, with no mountains or lakes within the immediate radius. Casalmaggiore is the nearest town of size and has a full set of daily services, a historic centre and rail links. The wider area is known for river agriculture and for the Po plain landscape rather than for a singular protected or monumental site within the immediate surroundings.
