What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €18,000 for 429 sqm, the asking price is just €42/sqm; assuming a renovation budget around €700/sqm for a large house to personalize, the effective cost is about €742/sqm. That is still reasonable for this size and central location, but above your low-stock Veneto baseline of €297/sqm, so the score is driven mainly by the very low entry price and strong size potential rather than a baseline discount.
More on the house and the area
The mountain setting is the best part here: there are real valley views and a dramatic Alpine backdrop, plus some garden/land around the house. But the building itself looks very plain and clearly neglected from the outside, with no interior evidence that it is currently a comfortable, usable home. At €18k for 429 sqm it has strong project appeal, but more as a big renovation opportunity than an immediate dream 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€85,000 – €151,000
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 looks neglected and likely needs major renovation.
- No interior photos, so livability is unproven despite the large size.
- Roadside position on a bend may mean noise and awkward access/parking.
- Overgrown areas and safety fencing suggest practical works outside too.
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 78/100The cluster sits in the Alpago basin under the Belluno Prealps, with forested slopes and higher limestone ridges rising close around the settled area. Lake Santa Croce lies within the basin, and the Tesa and other small alpine valleys cut up into the mountains above Chies d'Alpago. The Cansiglio forest and plateau are within this area, a large wooded karst upland shared with Friuli. The nearest ski area is Nevegal above Belluno, roughly a 40-minute drive, with larger Dolomite resorts much farther away and not part of the immediate landscape. Belluno is the nearest town of size, with full services, a historic centre and rail connections. The area is known for mountain pasture, woodland, and outdoor sports around Lake Santa Croce and the Cansiglio.
