Rustico/casale in Località Pareole 43
Rif. C0181 – Proponiamo in esclusiva un'interessante opportunità immobiliare in località Pareole a Cavarzere. Si tratta di un edificio collabente situato su un lotto di terreno di circa 800 mq, inserito in un contesto residenziale tranquillo e immerso nel verde, ma al contempo strategico: la proprietà si trova infatti a pochissimi minuti dal centro di Cavarzere, garantendo la massima comodità...
What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The description explicitly says 'edificio collabente', i.e. a collapsed ruin, which is a veto-level red flag for a livable home project. At €25,000 for 192 sqm the asking price is €130/sqm, but with full reconstruction-level works (~€1,100/sqm) the effective cost is about €1,230/sqm versus a €295/sqm baseline, so this is not a cheap livable deal.
More on the house and the area
The current appeal is mostly the ivy-covered rustic shell and the decent-sized garden lot, which has some countryside feel. But this is explicitly a collapsed/uninhabitable building, so the real value is the plot and redevelopment potential rather than a home you could live in. The renders hint at what it could become, not what you are buying today.
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€76,000 – €112,000
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.
- Collabente building: effectively a rebuild project, not a livable home
- No interior photos, bathroom or kitchen shown
- Renderings are only a proposed future design, not the current house
- Residential setting is pleasant but not especially scenic, with nearby houses and overhead wires
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 39/100The area is the lower Po plain at the edge of the Venetian lagoon system, with flat reclaimed farmland, drainage canals and river embankments. The Adige runs just south of Cavarzere, and the Brenta system and the southern lagoon margins are part of the wider landscape of this part of the province. Chioggia is the nearest town of size, with a historic centre, fishing port and lagoon waterfront. This part of Veneto is known for market gardening, arable farming and the hydraulic landscape of bonifica land.
