The €75,000 asking price is €536/m², below the €618/m² local comparison level, but allowing about €42,000 for renovation brings the effective cost to roughly €836/m². The structure is described as being in good general condition, with the bathroom specifically needing work, though the rural location 15 minutes from Portogruaro limits the upside.
More on the house and the area
A spacious, genuinely usable family home with a warm rustic interior: exposed brick, extensive wood ceilings, arches, a fireplace and a fitted kitchen give it real character. It is not a polished dream home, however, with dated furnishings, visible wall damp in the bedrooms and a bathroom needing renovation; the garden setting and €75,000 price add appeal.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €300/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€14,000 – €23,000
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.
- Visible damp or mold staining in the bedrooms needs investigation and remediation.
- The bathroom requires renovation, and the home has an outdated overall finish.
- Energy class G and the older 1960s construction may mean higher running and upgrade costs.
- The exterior is plain and appears to need cosmetic maintenance.
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 55/100The cluster lies on the Venetian-Friulian lowland of northeastern Italy, a flat agricultural plain crossed by drainage canals and small wooded belts. The town sits on the Lemene river and the Livenza river runs a short distance to the east; the northern Adriatic coast with its sandy beaches and coastal pinewoods is part of the same plain within local reach. There are no national parks or major regional parks inside a 15 km radius. No ski lifts or alpine terrain are within the immediate area; the Dolomites and their ski infrastructure lie well beyond 80–100 km. Portogruaro is the local town of size and contains an historic centre along canals, shops and services, and a regional railway station on the Venice–Trieste line. The area is crossed by regional roads and rail, and the land use is dominated by arable farming, market gardening and small industrial/commercial centres. The town lies close to the Veneto–Friuli Venezia Giulia regional boundary.
