What it really costs
Can you move in?
A project, not a home yet
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €72,000 (€600/m²), the asking price is close to comparable local stock, but the description presents an unfinished cascina requiring substantial work to create the proposed rooms and bathrooms. Estimated all-in cost is about €204,000, or €1,700/m²; the listing does not state its current habitability, utilities, or permits.
More on the house and the area
This is a highly photogenic independent stone cascina in a beautiful alpine setting, with sweeping mountain views, mature woodland, and generous green land. However, the photos show an agricultural shell rather than a usable home, and the description explicitly presents the rooms and bathrooms as future possibilities, so it is a major project rather than a move-in dream house.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€48,000 – €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.
- The gallery shows only exteriors, with no evidence of a finished interior, bathroom, kitchen, or utilities.
- The property appears to be a former stone farm building requiring substantial conversion and renovation before it can be lived in.
- Access and year-round habitability should be verified despite the listing’s claims.
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 76/100The cluster is in the upper Val Camonica in the Adamello-Presanella Alps. The Oglio runs down the valley floor nearby. Adamello Regional Park lies just to the south-west and the Stelvio National Park boundary is close above the upper valley around Ponte di Legno and the Tonale side. The nearest ski lifts are at Ponte di Legno and Passo del Tonale, roughly 15–25 minutes by road depending on the exact lift. Edolo is the nearest town of some size, with shops, schools and rail connection down the Val Camonica; Ponte di Legno is the main nearby resort centre. The area is known for alpine pastures, conifer woods and access to the upper Camonica passes and ski domain.
