Price €80,000 for 2,500 m² with an estimated €700/m² renovation yields €1,830,000 effective (≈€732/m²), well above the regional benchmark of €375/m². The ad says “da ristrutturare” and notes 1,360 m² of land but gives no building condition or year, so the listed size likely mixes land and building and makes the renovation burden and true cost unclear.
More on the house and the area
Lovely traditional Lombard corte with arcaded porticoes, original beams, terrazzo floors and a big private courtyard — very photogenic and full of conversion potential. The main house has liveable rooms but much of the complex (barns, attic, outbuildings and parts of the roof) needs significant work, so this is a renovation project with a great price and lots of land.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€495,000 – €878,000
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.
- Requires substantial renovation in places (barns, roof/attic and some structural repairs).
- Large sections are agricultural outbuildings/attic spaces — not immediately habitable without conversion.
- A tall water/cell tower is very close and impacts the immediate view.
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 52/100The area is the lower Oglio plain near its meeting with the Po, with flat agricultural land, drainage channels and poplar-lined roads. The Oglio River runs nearby, and the Po is a short distance south around Viadana and Dosolo. Mantova is the nearest city of size, with a historic center and ducal monuments. Sabbioneta is nearby and is a UNESCO World Heritage site as an ideal Renaissance town. This part of the province is known for irrigated farming and Po Valley food production.
