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
At €100,000 for 174 sqm the ask is €575/sqm, but with a needs-renovation estimate of about €700/sqm the effective cost is roughly €1,275/sqm, far above the very low Veneto farmhouse baseline of €296/sqm. The text shows a real house with some maintenance done (plants 1995, partial roof work 2010, floor 2019, 16 photos), but the unfinished attic and overall renovation needs make the pricing weak rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable house rather than a shell: multiple bedrooms, functioning kitchens/baths, heating and decent floors make it livable now. The wow comes mainly from the rustic attic with old beams and the affordable size-for-price, but the main living spaces are plain and dated rather than dream-home beautiful. It feels like a solid country home with character potential, not an immediate visual knockout.
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€34,000 – €61,000
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 72/100The cluster sits at the foot of Monte Grappa, with the first prealpine slopes and wooded ridges immediately around Possagno. The Piave valley is nearby to the north-east, and the Brenta valley is within the wider 15 km range to the west. The area is on the edge of the Colli Asolani and the foothill landscape between the Venetian plain and the Belluno pre-Alps. Monte Grappa is a protected area within the Parco Nazionale-like system of the Massiccio del Grappa; the mountain is also known for First World War sites and panoramic roads. The nearest larger town is Bassano del Grappa, which has a full range of services, a railway station, and a substantial historic centre on the Brenta. Asolo is nearby and is a member of I Borghi più belli d'Italia. Possagno itself is known for the Tempio Canoviano and for being the birthplace of Antonio Canova.
