At €92,000 (€708/m²), the estimated all-in cost is about €1,408/m² after allowing €700/m² for renovating this unspecified-condition rustic farmhouse, versus roughly €310/m² for comparable homes in the area. The 800 m² garden and views add appeal, but the listing does not say whether the house is currently habitable or detail the required works.
More on the house and the area
A characterful Veneto farmhouse with attractive exposed stonework, traditional shutters, mountain and valley views, and a generous orchard-like garden. The roofs and main structure appear intact, but the exterior is clearly dated and the lack of interior photos prevents confirming whether it is move-in ready or a significant renovation project.
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€26,000 – €46,000
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.
- No interior photos, so actual livability and renovation needs are unclear.
- The main house and stone outbuilding look dated and may require substantial updating.
- The property appears to have only one bathroom for a large stated bedroom count.
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 72/100Monte Grappa rises immediately north of Bassano del Grappa, with the Venetian Prealps forming the local horizon. The Brenta runs through the town and out into the plain. Bassano del Grappa is a substantial town with a large historic centre, the Ponte degli Alpini, rail links and full daily services. The area is known for grappa production, ceramics and its position at the meeting point of the plain and the Prealpine valleys. The nearest ski areas are on the Asiago plateau and around the Belluno foothills, reached by mountain roads and not part of the immediate 15 km landscape.
