At €65,000 plus an estimated €77,000 renovation, the effective cost is about €1,291/m²—far above the €317/m² local benchmark. Heating, a garage, and accessible entry help, but the listing does not say when it was built or provide an energy rating.
More on the house and the area
This is a traditional Veneto farmhouse with a pleasant front garden, old painted masonry, and a potentially useful 110 sqm layout. However, the property is clearly a renovation project rather than a ready home, and the urban roadside setting with the power pylon and surrounding commercial development significantly reduces the dream factor.
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€22,000 – €39,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Substantial renovation is needed; the rear façade shows severe peeling, exposed masonry, and general neglect.
- The setting is suburban and compromised by a busy road, nearby commercial/industrial buildings, parked cars, and a high-voltage pylon.
- Interior condition, utilities, and habitability are not demonstrated by the photos.
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 43/100This is the flat upper Venetian plain west of Treviso, with a dense pattern of fields, drainage channels, roads and built-up villages. The Sile river system is nearby, with the Parco Naturale Regionale del Fiume Sile starting around Treviso and running south through lowland wetlands and river landscapes. Treviso is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre, city walls, canals and services. The area is known for the plain between Treviso and Castelfranco, mixed farming and the wider prosecco-producing province, though the core wine hills are farther north and outside the immediate area.
