Raw price €65k for 235 m² = €277/m² looks cheap, but estimated renovation ~€700/m² (€164.5k) gives an effective price ≈ €229.5k or ≈ €977/m², well above the Veneto median of €409/m². The property has a 743 m² garden, garage and cellar, but renovation costs dominate the economics.
More on the house and the area
A solid, traditional two‑storey country house with a private garden (743 sqm), garage and cellar — roof and floors appear intact so this is a realistic renovation project. The setting is pleasant open farmland with mature trees and original interior beams, making it a good-value rural home once updated.
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€47,000 – €83,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Clearly needs renovation throughout (kitchen, bathroom, finishes and likely systems).
- Some outbuildings/structures in the courtyard look dilapidated or partly collapsed.
- Property sits right on a country road — limited privacy and possible traffic noise.
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.
