At €35,000 (€350/m²), the price looks low, but the farmhouse is completely to renovate and utilities and road are 300 metres away. Allowing about €110,000 for renovation brings the effective cost to roughly €1,450/m², far above the €380/m² local benchmark; the 17,000 m² of land adds value but does not offset the substantial works.
More on the house and the area
This is a highly atmospheric old Bergamasque stone farmhouse in a spectacular wooded mountain setting, with panoramic valley views and roughly 17,000 square metres of land. However, the building is an abandoned, overgrown shell requiring complete renovation, so it is a compelling restoration project rather than a usable home today.
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€40,000 – €59,000
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.
- Completely requires renovation and is not currently livable.
- The roof, structure, floors, utilities, kitchen and bathrooms need professional verification or replacement.
- Remote wooded hillside setting may make access and construction logistics difficult.
- Water, electricity and road access are reportedly about 300 metres away.
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 Brembana Valley, with the Bergamo Alps around it. The Brembo river runs through the valley. Orobie Bergamasche Regional Park lies nearby on the upper valley side. The nearest ski lifts are at Foppolo and Carona in the upper Val Brembana, roughly 35–45 minutes by road. San Pellegrino Terme is the nearest larger centre in the valley and has Liberty-era buildings and spa facilities; Bergamo is the main city down-valley. Cornello dei Tasso, a preserved medieval hamlet in the municipality, is listed among I Borghi più belli d’Italia. The area is known for Alpine valley scenery, historic stone hamlets and the route of the old Via Mercatorum.
