At €55,000 (€344/m²), the price looks low, but a four-level mountain house with energy class G and unspecified condition could require about €112,000 in renovation, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,044/m² versus a local reference of €338/m². The listing does not say whether the house is currently habitable, and Paluzza offers no clear proximity premium.
More on the house and the area
A charming yellow Alpine house with handsome timber details, dramatic mountain scenery, and a substantial 440 sqm garden. The interior is old-fashioned rather than beautiful, but it appears to be a genuine usable home with kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, and existing floors—not a renovation shell. At €55,000 for 160 sqm in this setting, it has strong dream-home appeal.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€32,000 – €56,000
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.
- Interiors are functional but dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating.
- The house is spread over four levels, which may be inconvenient for some buyers.
- Condition of the roof, systems, insulation, and heating is not documented.
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 74/100The cluster is in the Carnic Alps, in the upper But valley on the road that climbs toward the Monte Croce Carnico pass. The But stream runs through this stretch of valley. Tolmezzo is the nearest town of size, with the main services and shops for Carnia. The Zoncolan ski area above Ravascletto/Sutrio is nearby, with lifts reached in roughly 20–30 minutes by road. This part of Carnia is known for Alpine valleys, small stone villages and mountain pasture landscapes.
