See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €80,000 asking price is €345/m², but the two separate stone buildings are explicitly described as needing renovation. At an estimated €1,100/m² renovation cost, the effective cost is about €1,445/m²—far above the local €317/m² benchmark, despite the 1,600 m² garden.
More on the house and the area
The stone walls, old timber details and 1,600 m² private garden create genuine farmhouse character and renovation potential. However, the property is a severely neglected pair of rustic buildings rather than a usable home, with no finished interiors shown and likely extensive rebuilding required.
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€92,000 – €136,000
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.
- Both buildings are explicitly sold for renovation and appear heavily overgrown and unused.
- Visible roofs, timber elements, masonry and openings may require substantial structural work.
- No livable interior, kitchen, bathroom or utilities are demonstrated in the gallery.
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 68/100The cluster sits in the southern foothills of the Dolomites (Prealpi Bellunesi). The Piave river and its valley run through the surrounding area and form a principal transport corridor. Feltre (around 20,000 inhabitants) is the nearest larger town and provides a historic centre, shops, secondary schools and a railway station on the Calalzo–Padova line. The immediate landscape is a mix of wooded hills, pastures and small agricultural plots typical of the Belluno province. Mountain roads and trailheads into the Dolomite foothills are within short driving distance, providing access to hiking and seasonal mountain tourism. Ski lifts are in the higher Dolomite resorts and require a drive; they are not inside the immediate village landscape. Local economic activity includes forestry, small-scale agriculture and services for nearby towns and visitors.
