What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 for 245 sqm, the ask is €347/sqm, but assuming a renovation-level cost of about €700/sqm the effective cost is roughly €1,047/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €297/sqm for Veneto farmhouses. The description sells privacy and hospitality potential in the Belluno Prealps, but it gives no concrete habitability/renovation details, so this looks more like a large project than a clear bargain.
More on the house and the area
The setting is wonderfully secluded and green, with a romantic woodland-prealps feel and a photogenic old farmhouse silhouette. But this is not a ready home: the photos show a heavily neglected property with overgrowth, worn exterior fabric and at least one annex that looks raw and unfinished. Dreamy as a project, not yet a believable live-in house.
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€49,000 – €86,000
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.
- Major renovation appears necessary before habitation
- Some sections look partially open/unfinished and shell-like
- Overgrown grounds may need substantial clearing and access work
- Interior condition is not shown, so livability is unproven
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 72/100The cluster is in the Valbelluna, the broad middle Piave valley between the Bellunesi Dolomites to the north and the Venetian Prealps to the south. The Piave river runs through this area, and the Belluno Dolomites National Park begins within this belt of mountains around the valley. Nevegal above Belluno is the nearest small ski area, roughly a 40-minute drive, with larger Dolomite ski areas farther away but outside the immediate landscape. Belluno is the nearest town of size, with a full set of services and a historic centre. This part of the province is known for a settled alpine valley landscape of villages, woods and pasture beneath limestone mountain groups.
