This is a judicial auction (Tribunale: Pistoia) and the building is described as 'in stato di abbandono'; estimated restoration ≈€1,100/m² → renovation ≈€302,500 for 275 m², so effective cost ≈€327k. Auction status plus missing/contradictory listing data makes this high-risk for typical buyers.
More on the house and the area
A large rural property with almost 1.9 hectares of agricultural land offers real potential, but the building is abandoned and uninhabitable as-is. This is a renovation project/auction buy — attractive price for land and potential, but expect substantial restoration and extra costs before it becomes 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€109,000 – €161,000
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.
- The listing says the farmhouse is "in stato di abbandono" — requires full renovation (structural, roof, finishes).
- Images in the ad are indicative and do NOT represent the real photos of the property.
- Likely missing or disconnected utilities and bathrooms/kitchen; not immediately habitable.
- Sale is by auction — legal steps, additional costs and checks required 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 58/100The cluster lies on the Monte Albano hills between the Valdinievole plain and the Pistoia plain. The Nievole basin and the Padule di Fucecchio wetlands are within this area. Montecatini Terme is the nearest substantial town, with thermal establishments and rail connections, and Pistoia is also close with a large historic centre and services. This part of Tuscany is known for olive groves on the lower hills, nurseries and market gardening on the plain, and spa towns in the Valdinievole.
