This €26,000 property is currently a storage-use rustic, not a legal dwelling; conversion is only described as a possibility and is not guaranteed. Complete renovation would add roughly €88,000, bringing the effective cost to about €1,425/m² before conversion and permitting costs.
More on the house and the area
This stone farmhouse has authentic historic character, a broad hillside view, and approximately 2,400 sqm of green land near the village. However, it is an uninhabitable shell/storage building requiring complete renovation and possible planning approval, so it is a project rather than a livable cheap 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€32,000 – €47,000
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.
- Complete renovation is required before habitation.
- Currently described as a storage farmhouse, with change of use only potentially possible.
- No usable interior, kitchen, bathroom, or utilities are shown; verify roof and structural condition.
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 61/100The cluster is in the eastern hills above Verona, in the Val di Mezzane, with vineyard and olive-growing slopes and low pre-Alpine ridges leading up toward the Lessini Mountains. The Progno di Mezzane stream runs down the valley. The nearest larger city is Verona, which has full services and a major historic centre. To the north, within this hill belt, the landscape connects with the Lessinia area, known for stone villages, pasture and cherry growing in the valleys east of Verona. This part of the province is also known for Valpolicella and eastern Veronese wine production, though Mezzane sits outside the core lake or high-mountain scenery that gives some parts of Verona province their stronger national profile.
