Rustico completamente da ristrutturare (rustic ruin needing full renovation) from 1900 at 238 EUR/m2 vs baseline median 326 EUR/m2, so ~27% below baseline. However description states three levels of ~290 sqm each (~870 sqm total) which contradicts the listed 400 sqm, creating ambiguity on the true price basis. Property sits on 5,000 sqm agricultural land with 1,500 m3 buildable volume, adding value but also complexity. Not habitable, no energy class, only 1 photo, no baths/beds. Full renovation of a farmhouse of this era typically runs 1000-1400 EUR/m2. Baseline is decent but the sqm discrepancy weakens confidence. Fresh listing (3 days). Potential upside for a buyer wanting a large single dwelling or development project, but heavy renovation cost and data inconsistencies temper the deal.
More on the house and the area
The single photo is of the Tecnocasa agency window ('vetrina in allestimento'), not the property itself, so there is no visual wow at all. On paper the listing has appeal: a ~400 sqm (three levels ~290 sqm each) rustic farmhouse on ~5,000 sqm of agricultural land with 1,500 m³ building capacity, near the Sile river cycle path and H-FARM campus, at just €238/m² for €95k. The land/nature setting and low price point suggest potential, but it needs full renovation and there is zero imagery to confirm any charm.
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€158,000 – €234,000
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.

The area around
Location score 42/100The cluster lies on the flat lower Venetian plain between the Sile and Piave river systems, in a landscape of drainage canals, fields and scattered settlements. The Sile runs nearby, and the area is linked to the lagoon edge at Altino, the Roman archaeological site and museum just outside the town. Venice is the nearest major city, with airport, rail links and all services, but the immediate surroundings are lowland and peri-urban rather than a distinct scenic landscape. The area is known for the lagoon hinterland, Roman Altinum, and market gardening on the plain.
