This is a judicial auction listing for a livestock center (milking room, manure areas), not a residential property; at €33,945 for 386 m² (€88/m²) conversion would be extensive and likely legally restricted, and the ad even states images are only indicative.
More on the house and the area
Lovely open agricultural landscape and clear countryside views; the asset is a working farm with milking room, refrigeration and basic services — habitable but very utilitarian. Good candidate for conversion into a characterful country home, but expect renovation to make it a comfortable residence.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€153,000 – €226,000
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.
- Property is an agricultural/zootecnical complex (livestock and milking facilities) — utilitarian rather than a finished home.
- Listing notes images are indicative and may not be photos of the actual buildings shown here.
- Rural location likely needs some conversion/comfort upgrades despite being listed as habitable; check access and utilities.
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 68/100The cluster is in the Ligurian Apennines, in the upper Curone valley near the passes that link south-east Piemonte with the Genoese side. The Curone and its side valleys shape the immediate landscape of wooded slopes, pasture and scattered hamlets. This area falls within the wider Appennino Piemontese landscape; the Alta Val Borbera and the Monte Ebro-Monte Chiappo ridge are nearby, with the protected area of the Parco Naturale delle Capanne di Marcarolo farther west beyond the 15 km radius. The nearest small service centres are Cabella Ligure and, a bit farther, Arquata Scrivia and Tortona for fuller shops, rail links and services. The area is known for chestnut woods, mixed mountain farming and the old road connections between Piedmont and Liguria.
