See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €95,000, the house plus roughly €200,000 in renovation implies about €1,475/m² before assigning value to the 4,387 m² agricultural land, versus a local benchmark of €311/m². The dwelling is completely original, lacks installed heating, and includes a storage building; the listing does not say what energy class applies.
More on the house and the area
This is an authentic Veneto farmhouse with exposed brick, traditional beams, a fireplace, a broad paved courtyard and 4,387 sqm of surrounding land. However, it is a genuine renovation project rather than a usable dream home today: the interiors are dated and damp-looking, heating is absent, and major modernization will be needed.
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, €1,000/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€40,000 – €70,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Completely original and requiring substantial renovation, not move-in ready.
- No installed heating system; the house has relied on wood-burning stoves.
- Visible damp, deteriorated plaster, aging windows and worn upper-floor timber flooring require technical inspection.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a 200 sqm farmhouse.
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.
