In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Stone rustico in Triangia near Sondrio, 70sqm at €486/m2 vs baseline €382/m2, so ~27% above median but the property is completely unrenovated and currently classified as a rustic requiring change of use (cambio di destinazione d'uso) to become residential. Currently not habitable: only ~30-62sqm becomes livable depending on the project, with the ground floor originally a garage/carrabile opening. Full renovation of stone building plus use-change permits is costly (~€1,200/m2). No energy class and no sea distance data. Absolute price (€34k) is low and the location near Sondrio in Valtellina is attractive, but the above-baseline per-m2 for a to-be-renovated shell plus renovation risk tempers the deal. Fair opportunity for a buyer prepared for a full recovery project.
More on the house and the area
Semi-detached stone rustic in Triangia near Sondrio, Valtellina. The genuine photos show an authentic stone exterior with wood-beam roof and a pleasant green setting with mountain backdrop, but the interiors are a raw, unrenovated shell (bare concrete, rough stone walls, garage door). The polished, appealing interiors and dusk exterior are AI/renders explicitly marked RENDERING and do not reflect current reality. Real wow comes from the stone-and-timber character, the sunny Alpine location and outdoor garden area, plus a low €34k price. But it needs full renovation and delivers modest living space, so the current-state appeal is limited to charm and potential rather than a genuine scroll-stopper.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,200/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€28,000 – €41,000
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.
