Description is just “porzione di rustico” with no condition given; assuming full renovation (~700 €/m²) gives an effective price of €228,000 or €1,140/m², far above the Veneto baseline of €317/m², so this looks overpriced for a heavy-renovation farmhouse.
More on the house and the area
A very photogenic portion of a farmhouse with big open volumes, exposed beams, brick chimney and an arched, characterful porch — all the ingredients of a beautiful rustic home. The structure is roofed and floored so it’s a realistic conversion to live in, but expect to fit bathrooms, a kitchen and do a fair amount of finishing and repairs.
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€40,000 – €70,000
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.
- Solid roof and original floors/beams present but the interiors need significant finishing and cleaning (likely no fitted kitchen or bathrooms).
- Signs of moisture/peeling plaster and some makeshift stairs/fixtures — cosmetic and systems work expected.
- Small overgrown garden and limited external view; outdoor area will need clearing and landscaping.
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 39/100This is the flat mainland between Mestre and Treviso in the Venetian plain, with a landscape of fields, drainage canals, roads and scattered built-up areas. The Marzenego river runs through Salzano. Venice and the lagoon are outside the 15 km radius, so they matter for access and daily services but not as part of the immediate landscape. The nearest larger town is Mestre, which has the full range of urban services and rail connections.
