At €95,000 plus an estimated €700/m² renovation (≈€126,000) the effective total is about €221,000 — roughly €1,228/m², well above the local Veneto farmhouse median of €317/m²; this looks like an expensive renovation. The listing is very terse and shows only 3 photos, so important details are missing.
More on the house and the area
Plain two‑storey village house near Mestre with an intact, usable shell but dated, makeshift interiors. At €95k for 180 m² it's a clear bargain for someone willing to do substantial renovation, but it is not a move‑in dream home as shown.
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€36,000 – €63,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

The area around
Location score 34/100The cluster sits on the flat agricultural lowland of the Venetian plain, an area of fields, market-gardens and irrigated plots served by a network of small canals and drainage channels. There are no mountains, lakes or regional/national parks within the local plain. The area is functionally part of the Venice mainland/urban fringe: Mestre and the larger Venice urban area are the nearest significant urban centres and provide train connections, larger shops and services. Venice (historic centre, UNESCO World Heritage Site) and Venice Marco Polo airport are the regional cultural and transport hubs for the area, reached by road or rail from the plain. The local landscape includes built-up suburban and light-industrial zones as well as agricultural land; many residents commute into Mestre/Venice. The immediate surroundings are typical lowland Veneto without a named scenic feature within about 15 km.
