Rustico/casale in Via Borgoletto
Caratteristica PORZIONE di rustico in posizione tranquilla e panoramica della Val d’Illasi, confinante con Colognola ai Colli. La proprietà si inserisce in un contesto naturale di grande fascino, circondata da terreni parzialmente coltivati, con presenza di vigneti che valorizzano ulteriormente il paesaggio tipico…
What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 for 230 sqm, the asking price is just €261/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €297/sqm, and the text suggests a customizable rustic project rather than a finished home. Assuming a full restoration at about €1,100/sqm, the effective cost is ~€1,361/sqm; still a decent buy for a large Veneto farmhouse with panoramic setting, but not a standout once renovation is included.
More on the house and the area
The wow is in the setting: wide vineyard-and-hills views, a peaceful Val d’Illasi position, and a leafy farmhouse exterior with real country atmosphere. But this is being sold more as a project than a finished home, with open rough sections and no shown habitable interiors. Dreamy landscape, yes; easy move-in house, no.
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€91,000 – €135,000
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.
- Needs major renovation; photos suggest unfinished/bare sections rather than a ready home.
- Interior livability is unproven because no usable indoor rooms are shown.
- Some exterior/open-sided parts look structurally crude and may need rebuilding or consolidation.
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.
