This is explicitly an auction listing ("asta immobiliare"), which is a hard veto for this catalog. The description also includes agricultural land and accessory farm/storage buildings (stalla/fienile), creating legal/use uncertainty despite the low €249/m² asking price versus a €425/m² baseline.
More on the house and the area
This has some real rustic appeal: an old stone casale, agricultural land and a usable main house rather than just a shell. The wow comes more from the idea of a country compound than from polished beauty, because the interiors are plain and dated and the rough annex looks like a serious project. At this price for 356 sqm, it feels more compelling as a bargain with potential than as an immediately dreamy home.
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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€71,000 – €125,000
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.
- Exterior includes a very rough stone outbuilding that may need major restoration
- Main interiors look habitable but dated and uneven in finish
- Photos do not show any notable open view despite the hillside setting
- Auction sale: condition and legal details should be checked carefully
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 61/100The cluster sits on the southern slopes of the Bergamo Prealps above the Adda valley, with Monte Linzone and the ridge system between the Imagna and San Martino valleys close by. The River Adda is the main water feature in the area, with the gorge and valley floor around Calolziocorte and Cisano Bergamasco below. This is the edge zone between the Bergamasque mountains and the industrialised Brianza-Lecco plain, so woodland, steep pasture and scattered hamlets mix with valley infrastructure. The nearest town of size is Lecco, which has a full set of services and rail links, and Bergamo is the larger provincial city within daily reach. The area is known for hillside walking routes and for views over the Adda corridor and the prealpine ridges.
