This is a judicial auction for a building described as abandoned and partly collapsed; at the asking €4,746 (≈€35/m²) plus an estimated €1,100/m² restoration, the effective cost is ≈€154k total (≈€1,135/m²), far above the regional baseline of €459/m², so not a straightforward livable purchase.
More on the house and the area
Huge parcel (14,490 m²) and an absurdly low price make this an intriguing bargain, but the description says the house is abandoned and partly collapsed. The listing looks like a project/ruin rather than a move‑in home — buy only if you expect a full restoration or rebuild.
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€54,000 – €80,000
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.
- Listing states the farmhouse is abandoned and partly collapsed.
- Advertiser notes images are indicative — photos may be stock or not representative.
- No clear photos of the actual exterior, land or reliable views.
- No guarantee of services (bathroom/kitchen/roof intact)
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 61/100The area is in the northern Apennines, in the hill country south of Parma. The Enza valley is nearby, and the Tuscan-Emilian Apennine ridge is within the local inland horizon. Schia, the small ski area on Monte Caio, is the nearest lift area at roughly half an hour by road from much of the comune. Parma is the nearest city of size, with rail links, services, and a large historic centre. This part of the Parmense is known for mixed woodland, pasture, scattered stone hamlets, and for Parmigiano Reggiano production in the mountain and hill zone.
