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 €60,000 for 300 sqm the asking price is only €200/sqm, but the text says a total restoration is needed, so the effective cost is about €1,300/sqm including ~€1,100/sqm works. The local baseline (€167/sqm) is weak and unreliable here, so on absolute plausibility this looks like a large full-renovation project rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
The mountain setting is genuinely lovely, with open alpine views, meadow land and strong old-stone-and-timber farmhouse character. But this is essentially a full restoration project rather than a usable home today: the interiors shown are bare rustic spaces and the building needs total renovation. Big dream potential, limited current livability.
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€119,000 – €176,000
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.

- Total renovation project, not currently a ready-to-live home
- Interiors shown are raw barn/storage spaces with no finished living areas
- Conservative restoration constraint may limit changes and add complexity
- Heating would need to be created from scratch (GPL, biomass stove or heat pump)
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 73/100The cluster is in the Lagorai side valleys east of Trento, with forested mountain slopes and small meadows around the upper Val dei Mocheni. The Fersina stream runs down the valley toward Pergine Valsugana. The area is part of the traditional Mòcheno-speaking valley. Pergine Valsugana is the nearest larger town, with a full range of shops and services. Lake Caldonazzo and Lake Levico are within about 15 km on the valley floor. The area is known for mountain pasture, woodland and the Mòcheno cultural enclave.
