What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €65,000 asking price looks low, but the 430 m² farmhouse is completely to renovate, implying roughly €473,000 in works and an effective cost near €1,251/m². That is far above the local reference of €317/m², while the large warehouse component and remote hillside setting limit the value.
More on the house and the area
A substantial historic mountain hamlet property with handsome stone buildings, traditional timber roofs, sunny valley views, and a generous rear garden/vegetable plot. However, the scale of the renovation is the defining reality: much of the 430 sqm is barn-like or unfinished, so this is a major restoration project rather than a ready-to-live-in home.
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€170,000 – €252,000
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 property is advertised as completely to renovate, despite some furnished rooms appearing usable.
- Only one bathroom is listed for approximately 430 sqm; utilities, heating, and compliance need verification.
- Large adjoining barns and roof structures may require substantial structural and restoration work.
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 72/100The Piccole Dolomiti and the Pasubio massif rise directly above the area, with Monte Pasubio and the Sengio Alto group within the local mountain ring. The Leogra valley runs through the comune, and the upper valley is tied to the road and military landscape of the Strada delle 52 Gallerie on Monte Pasubio. Part of the local mountain area falls within the Parco Naturale Regionale della Lessinia to the south-western side of the wider zone. The nearest substantial town is Schio, which has the main services, rail access and a larger historic and industrial centre in the valley. The area is known for First World War mountain sites and for hiking in the Pasubio group.
