Estimated renovation €700/m² (≈€210,000 total) pushes effective price to ≈€1,033/m² vs local median €290/m², so the 300 m² farmhouse is expensive once restoration is included. The property has a large 3,000 m² garden and 22 photos, but full renovation cost makes this a weak value play.
More on the house and the area
Lovely brick colonico with original columns, exposed beams and an intact roof set in a big private 3,000 m² park with open-field views — very photogenic and full of character. The interior is essentially a raw barn (no finished rooms, bathroom or kitchen), so this is a conversion project rather than a move-in 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 37/100This is the eastern Bolognese plain, a flat agricultural area of fields, drainage canals and scattered villages. The Reno and Savena river corridors are in the wider plain nearby, but around Minerbio the immediate landscape is mainly lowland farmland. Bologna is the nearest major city, with the full range of services, a historic centre, rail connections and the airport.
