What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Farmhouse at 167 EUR/m2 vs baseline median 326 EUR/m2 is ~49% below market, a strong entry price. Two buildings totaling ~300 sqm with an existing renovation project for a bifamiliare adds value and reduces permitting risk. Downsides: completely uninhabitable rustic (needs full renovation), 1800 build year implies structural/roof/system overhaul at roughly 1000+ EUR/m2, so total investment likely 350k+. Energy class and bath/bed data missing. Fresh listing (5 days). Solid value for an investor/developer, not a turnkey buyer.
More on the house and the area
An 1800s stone farmhouse (rustico) in Schio, Veneto, priced at just €50k for 300sqm (€167/m2). The stone-and-brick masonry, characteristic portico, and rustic courtyard setting give genuine historic character, and there's an existing project for two independent units. However it is a complete ruin — gutted interiors, exposed timber, overgrown yard, no utilities or finishes. Appeal is almost entirely potential + price bargain rather than move-in wow. Attractive to investors/renovators, not a turnkey scroll-stopper.
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, €1,000/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€59,000 – €105,000
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 62/100The cluster sits at the foot of the Vicentine Prealps, with Monte Summano immediately above the plain and the Pasubio massif and Piccole Dolomiti within the local mountain backdrop. The Leogra valley opens here toward Schio and the upper valleys. Schio is the nearest town of size and has full daily services, a rail connection, and a substantial historic industrial centre. Vicenza is the nearest provincial capital for higher-order services. This part of the province is known for its mix of prealpine slopes, small valley settlements, and the textile-industrial belt at the edge of the plain.
