225,000€ for 362 m² in shell condition; I estimate full restoration ≈ €1,100/m² (≈€398,200), giving an effective ≈€1,720/m² versus the regional median €517/m² — far above market. The listing omits formal condition/year/energy class so costs are inferred from the description.
More on the house and the area
Beautiful gated borgo setting with a dramatic cypress avenue, private gardens and attractive refurbished exteriors — great curb appeal and privacy. The interior is an unfinished shell (brick walls, concrete floors, exposed beams) so this is a renovation project needing full finishing to become a livable 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€143,000 – €212,000
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.
- Sold al grezzo: interior is a raw brick shell with no plastering or finishes
- No fitted kitchen or bathrooms shown — full interior fit‑out required
- Verify utilities, permits and final completion costs 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 43/100This is the central Po plain north of Modena, with flat agricultural land, irrigation canals and scattered villages. The Secchia runs a few kilometres west of Soliera, and the old course area of the Cassa di espansione del Secchia forms a managed wetland and river-plain reserve within the local landscape. Modena is the nearest city of size, with full services, a historic centre and the cathedral complex listed by UNESCO. The area is known for the farmed plain of the Modenese lowlands and for the food production associated with the province, including Lambrusco and balsamic vinegar.
