This is being sold at judicial auction ('ASTA IMMOBILIARE') and the lot is described as an agricultural complex with stables, deposits and large land, so it carries auction/legal risk rather than a normal house sale. Listed price €51,970 (325 m2 shown) is secondary to the auction status and mixed agricultural use.
More on the house and the area
A large rustic brick farmhouse on nearly a hectare of land gives authentic rural charm and real potential — the main living rooms look intact and habitable with exposed beams and traditional features. It’s clearly lived-in but dated, with attics and outbuildings requiring renovation; priced as an auction bargain, this is a strong buy-for-life option if you accept some renovation and the legal work of an auction purchase.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€21,000 – €36,000
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 sold at judicial auction — requires a lawyer/extra due diligence.
- Interiors are dated and will need updating (bathroom/kitchen finishes, decoration).
- Attic/outbuildings appear unfinished/cluttered and some farm structures need refurbishment.
- No energy class shown; check utilities/heating system and zoning for agricultural buildings.
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 42/100This is the lower Po plain on the Po River, with embankments, fields, poplar plantations and river islands along this stretch of the valley. The area is part of the Bassa Parmense, known for floodplain farming and for Culatello di Zibello production in the humid Po-side villages. Fidenza is the nearest larger town with rail services and everyday amenities. Parma is the nearest city of size, with a full historic centre and major services, but it is beyond the immediate 15 km landscape.
