This is a judicial auction lot recorded as a rural/agricultural building and may not be legally convertible to a dwelling. The listing describes very poor structural and roof conditions; estimated renovation ~€1,100/m² (305 m² → +€335,500) yielding an effective price ≈€1,300/m², so it is not a straightforward habitable purchase.
More on the house and the area
Photos show very bright, large rooms and a crisp modern bathroom, and the lot includes small surrounding land parcels. However the technical description reports serious structural and roof/façade problems, so this is a bargain project rather than a turnkey dream home.
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€121,000 – €179,000
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.
- Perizia/CTU states the unit is in very poor static condition with façades and roof in bad repair
- Terrace/lastrico solare reportedly not accessible from the unit
- No reliable record of bathrooms; major systems/permits may be required
- Substantial structural and exterior renovation likely — not move‑in ready
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 62/100The cluster is in the Valdisieve, with the first ridges of the Tuscan-Romagnol Apennines close by. The Sieve river runs through the area. Much of the surrounding countryside is vineyard and olive-growing hill country, and Rufina is known for Chianti Rufina wine. The nearest larger city is Florence, with full city services and major rail connections. The Casentino Forests, Monte Falterona and Campigna National Park lies to the northeast, but its core protected landscapes are beyond the immediate 15 km radius.
