The €50,000 price looks low at €200/m², but the two stone buildings require renovation, putting the estimated all-in cost near €1,300/m² versus about €317/m² for comparable local homes. The 1,600 m² garden and B&B potential add value, but do not offset the substantial restoration burden.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial rustic complex with attractive exposed stonework, old beams, a traditional fireplace, and the potential benefit of roughly 1,600 m² of private garden. However, the interiors are extremely neglected and the property is clearly a major renovation project rather than a home that could be occupied soon.
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€99,000 – €146,000
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.
- Extensive renovation is required, including damaged plaster, decayed floors and ceilings, old windows, and likely full systems replacement.
- Some outbuildings have severely deteriorated timber roofs and appear close to ruinous condition.
- No finished kitchen or clearly usable bathroom is shown; habitability and utilities should be verified.
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.
