What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €40,000 for 78 sqm, the asking price is €513/sqm, but the description says completely to be restored, so I estimate about €1,100/sqm renovation, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,613/sqm. That is far above the low Veneto farmhouse baseline of €294/sqm; the 15 km distance from Bibione/Lignano helps a little, but this looks ordinary-to-weak for a full restoration project.
More on the house and the area
This has a private courtyard/garden and a tucked-away rural feel, so there is some dream value in the setting. But the house shown is clearly a full renovation project, with cracked plaster, tired exteriors and no evidence of usable interiors. At €40k it is cheap, yet today it reads more as a project than a home you could comfortably live in.
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€31,000 – €46,000
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.
- Completely to be renovated
- Visible facade cracking and weathering
- Outbuilding looks basic and partly improvised
- No interior photos to prove livable condition
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 58/100The area is on the lower plain of the Tagliamento River, with flat farmland, drainage canals and scattered settlements. The Tagliamento is the main natural feature within reach, with a wide stony riverbed and embankments in its lower course. Bibione and the Adriatic coast are nearby, with beach and lagoon environments around the river mouth. Portogruaro is the nearest larger town, with a historic centre and rail connections. The area is known for seaside tourism around Bibione and for the river plain landscape of the eastern Veneto–Friuli border.
