€39,000 for 220 m2 (plus 4,800 m2 land); assuming modest works (~€200/m2 -> €44k) yields an effective price ≈€83k or ≈€378/m2, comfortably below the Lazio median of €600/m2. 21 photos, separate magazzino and easy access make this a strong value if only light-to-medium renovation is needed.
More on the house and the area
Solid, rectangular two‑storey farmhouse set in a dominant hill position with about 4,800 m² of garden/land and pleasant countryside views. The building is structurally complete and immediately usable but the interiors are dated (old tiles, single bathroom, basic fixtures) and need substantial updating. Exceptional size and land for the €39k price, a good-value renovation project to turn into a comfortable country home.
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€15,000 – €25,000
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 significant interior modernisation (kitchen, bathroom, finishes).
- Only one bathroom shown and services/insulation likely dated.
- Separate outbuilding is in poor condition and would need repair or demolition.
- Windows and exterior finishes appear old and may need replacement.
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.
