Price €300,000 for 200 m² = €1,500/m²; adding a modest €200/m² renovation gives an effective €340,000 → €1,700/m² versus the regional baseline €761/m², so it is overpriced. The lot is very large (96,191 m²) which helps explain the price, but the listing omits condition and year-built details.
More on the house and the area
Lovely stone farmhouse with a spectacular wooded-valley/mountain view and extensive private land — very photogenic exterior and outdoor spaces. The building looks sound and lived-in (intact roof/windows, heating stove/radiators), so it is a real, usable home that would benefit from cosmetic updating rather than full renovation.
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€13,000 – €22,000
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.
- Remote, rural setting — expect country roads and some distance to services.
- Interiors are lived-in and functional but a bit dated (textured plaster, older kitchen/finishes) — cosmetic refresh likely.
- Very large plot (≈9.6 ha) is lovely but will require upkeep or management.
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 77/100The area lies in the upper Magra valley between the northern Tuscan-Emilian Apennines and the Apuan Alps. The Magra river runs through Pontremoli. Part of the municipality falls within the Parco Nazionale dell’Appennino Tosco-Emiliano. The nearest ski area is Zum Zeri in the Zeri valley, roughly a 40-minute drive, with larger lifts on the Cerreto side of the Apennines farther away. Pontremoli itself is the main small town nearby, with a substantial historic centre, bridges, the Piagnaro Castle and rail links on the Parma–La Spezia line. The wider Lunigiana area is known for stone villages, castles and chestnut country, and Pontremoli is on the Via Francigena.
