Estimate €700/m² => renovation ≈€105,000, so effective price ≈€195,000 (≈€1,300/m²) versus regional median €317/m²; at that effective value this farmhouse is markedly overpriced for Veneto. Listing is fresh (1 day) and the ad gives little detail beyond “needs renovation” and a garage.
More on the house and the area
Attractive stone farmhouse with a photogenic arched portico and a large grassy plot — the exterior has real historic charm. The building is a usable shell but requires renovation (one wing looks damaged and cordoned off), so this is a strong bargain for someone willing to do structural and finishing work.
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€30,000 – €53,000
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.
- Needs renovation — parts of the building appear damaged and are fenced off
- Close to a road and nearby light-industrial buildings, so not a secluded countryside spot
- Only one bathroom; check utilities and permits before purchase
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 39/100The area is on the flat lower Adige plain, with the Adige river running nearby and a landscape of fields, drainage channels and small settlements. Within this radius the nearest town of size is Legnago, which has the main services, shops and rail connections for the area. Verona is farther away and matters more for work and transport than for the immediate landscape. This part of southern Verona province is known for irrigated agriculture on the plain.
