What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing is completely to be restored, so the effective cost is about €65,000 + (280 sqm × €1,100/sqm) = €373,000, or roughly €1,332/sqm effective. The ask alone is very low at €232/sqm versus a €383/sqm baseline for Lombardia farmhouses, and the large 280 sqm with private courtyard adds upside, but the full renovation keeps it just below diamond level.
More on the house and the area
There is some rustic character here: an old courtyard house with weathered beams, stone walls, a vaulted cellar and a private yard with an olive tree. But the condition is the real limiter: large parts are visibly unrestored, damp-looking and semi-derelict, so this reads as a major project rather than a beautiful home you could soon live in. At €65k for 280 sqm the price is striking, but the wow is more potential than present reality.
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€111,000 – €164,000
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; upper floors look raw and partially stripped back.
- Livability is poor now despite some usable-looking lower rooms.
- Courtyard setting is practical but not scenic or private in a dreamy way.
- May suit subdivision/investment better than an immediate home.
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 sits in the Brianza hills between the Lambro valley and the first pre-Alpine relief, with Monte Barro and the Lecco branch of Lake Como outside the 15 km radius but part of the wider northern horizon. The Lambro river runs nearby and the Parco Regionale della Valle del Lambro is the main protected area in this part of Brianza. Merone and the lakes of Annone and Pusiano are within roughly this radius, giving the area a mix of wooded hills, built-up villages and small lake basins. The nearest larger centres are Erba, with shops and services, and Lecco and Monza farther beyond the immediate landscape. This part of Brianza is known for dense settlement, small industry and the transition from the Milan plain to the pre-Alpine lake district.
