Although presented as a beautiful property, the 100 m² building is explicitly designated for recreational use, so its legal suitability as a dwelling is not established. At €69,000 (€690/m²), it is unsafe as a livable-home purchase unless a confirmed change of use is possible.
More on the house and the area
The main appeal is the exceptionally private 2,500 sqm garden in the Ticino Park, with mature trees, a large covered outdoor area, parking, and a generous fireplace room. The house is roofed and usable rather than a bare shell, but its dated interiors, rough outbuildings, and recreational-use classification make it more of a charming countryside retreat than a ready dream home.
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€20,000 – €35,000
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.
- Listed as recreational use rather than a standard residential home, so legal full-time living should be verified.
- The property is very dated and appears to need renovation, maintenance, and significant garden cleanup.
- No full bathroom is confirmed in the facts; the description mentions only a service bathroom.
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 58/100Flat Po Valley plain with intensive agriculture and a network of irrigation canals and ditches. The Ticino River and its floodplain, part of the Parco Lombardo della Valle del Ticino (regional park), lie within about 15 km to the west and provide riverine woodland and marked cycling paths. The Naviglio Grande canal and its irrigation/recreational routes run through nearby Abbiategrasso. Parts of the surrounding countryside fall inside the Parco Agricolo Sud Milano, a regional agricultural-protection area. Nearest town of size is Abbiategrasso (about 10 km) with a railway station to Milan, shops, weekly markets and the Castello Visconteo; Milan is the nearest large city (~30 km). No mountains or ski lifts are within the local 15 km radius.
