Price €58k plus estimated €700/m² renovation (~€210k) gives an effective price ≈ €268k or ≈ €893/m², far above the regional median of €290/m². The 11 ha of land adds value, but the very high renovation burden makes this a weak deal.
More on the house and the area
Classic stone farmhouse with intact rooflines, original beams and rustic features and a sweeping, photogenic hilltop panorama. The building looks structurally whole but interiors are largely agricultural and need a full renovation/conversion; the huge surrounding land (11 ha) is a major lifestyle asset.
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.

- Needs substantial renovation — not move-in ready.
- Many interior spaces are agricultural (stable/fienile) and will require conversion to living rooms/bathrooms.
- Remote hill location — check services, access and utilities before purchase.
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 66/100This is the first hilly belt west of Bologna, in the Samoggia valley and the Bolognese Apennine foothills. The Samoggia stream runs through the area. The nearest larger city is Bologna, with full city services, rail connections and a major historic centre. Rocca dei Bentivoglio at Bazzano is the main local historic landmark, and the area is known for vineyards, orchards and the food production of the Bolognese hills. Monteveglio and the Abbey of Santa Maria di Monteveglio are within the area, and much of this landscape falls in the Parco Regionale dell'Abbazia di Monteveglio, now part of the Parco regionale dei Gessi Bolognesi e Calanchi dell'Abbadessa.
