The €30,000 price is exceptionally low at €107/m², and the central historic setting adds value, but the project to create apartments or a duplex implies a major restoration. At an estimated €1,100/m² renovation cost, the effective cost is about €1,207/m², well above the local €317/m² benchmark; the listing also does not say the current condition or legal status of the project.
More on the house and the area
The large stone farmhouse has strong historic character, traditional masonry, old tiled roofs, and an evocative village-center setting beside a church. However, the warning signs, damaged roof areas, dark unfinished openings, and absence of usable interiors make this a major reconstruction project rather than a home you could realistically live in now.
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€111,000 – €164,000
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.
- Clearly marked as a dangerous building, with major structural and roof work required.
- No finished interiors, bathrooms, kitchen, or livable spaces are shown; the plans indicate a substantial redevelopment project.
- Central roadside position may bring traffic, noise, and access constraints.
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 72/100The Belluno Prealps are the immediate setting here, with the Piave valley and the lower slopes around Mel and Trichiana shaping the local landscape. The Piave river runs through this part of the valley. The Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park lies nearby to the north and west, with the better-known park access around the Belluno area rather than in the built-up valley floor itself. Nearest ski areas are the small lifts on Nevegal above Belluno, roughly a 35–45 minute drive, while the larger Dolomite resorts are farther and do not define the immediate surroundings. Belluno is the nearest town of size, with a full range of services and a historic centre. Mel, now part of Borgo Valbelluna, is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia. The area is known for the transition from the Venetian foothills into the Belluno mountain valleys, with mixed woodland, pasture and small historic hill settlements.
