This is primarily 5,000 m² of agricultural land with an 11 m² rural outbuilding intended for tools and materials, not a dwelling. At €45,000, the effective cost is about €5,191/m² for the small structure, and residential use is not established.
More on the house and the area
The wide Alpine and valley views are genuinely attractive, and the flat agricultural parcel has direct access from a paved road. However, the property is essentially farmland with a tiny, weathered storage shed rather than a usable home, so it does not offer a realistic live-in Italian-house dream.
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€4,000 – €7,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- This is primarily 5,000 sqm of agricultural land, not a residential property.
- The 11 sqm rural shed appears utilitarian and visibly deteriorated, with no livable interior shown.
- Residential use, utilities, renovation potential, and legal status must be verified; agricultural-use restrictions apply.
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 42/100The area is in the lower Brembo plain, with the Brembo river corridor close by and cultivated flat land around the settlements. The Adda river is also nearby, with the wooded river landscape of the Parco Adda Nord within this radius. Bergamo is the nearest city of size, with a large historic upper town and full urban services, and the Milan-Bergamo urban belt lies to the west and south. This part of the province is known more for its river parks, industry and logistics corridor than for a distinct scenic landscape.
