See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 (€195/m²), the asking price is attractive, but the property is explicitly sold to be renovated; estimated works bring the effective cost to about €895/m², well above the €257/m² local comparison level. The description mentions a bathroom, while the listing facts show none, and the extent of renovation is not fully specified.
More on the house and the area
A generous rural farmhouse with authentic beams, traditional shutters, mature greenery, and an unusually large 1,800 sqm enclosed garden. The main house appears substantial and historically characterful rather than a mere ruin, but it is dated, cluttered, and clearly a renovation project rather than a move-in-ready 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€61,000 – €108,000
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.
- The property is explicitly sold as needing renovation, with dated interiors and substantial modernization likely required.
- The listing facts show zero bathrooms, despite the description mentioning one; utilities and habitability should be verified.
- The large former stable/barn appears particularly project-like, with visibly aged roofing and structure.
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 54/100The area is flat Friulian plain between the lower Tagliamento and Livenza river systems, with fields, drainage channels and scattered villages. The abbey complex of Santa Maria in Sylvis is in Sesto al Reghena and the village is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia. Portogruaro is the nearest larger town, with a substantial historic centre and rail services. The Adriatic coast around Caorle and Bibione is beyond the 15 km landscape radius and does not change the setting here. The area is known for agriculture and for the medieval abbey village.
