See what needs doing and what each job costs
The €44,000 asking price is attractive at €220/m², but a 200 m² farmhouse needing renovation implies roughly €140,000 in works, bringing the effective cost to about €920/m² versus a local reference around €310/m². The independent setting and garden add appeal, but the renovation burden makes this a weak deal unless costs can be kept far below standard estimates.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial independent farmhouse with generous private grounds, open countryside and a genuinely attractive Euganean Hills backdrop. At €44,000 for 200 sqm it has strong project value, but the real house is currently a weathered renovation canvas rather than a move-in-ready dream 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€40,000 – €70,000
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.

- The property is explicitly sold as needing renovation; the current exterior shows weathered façades and neglected grounds.
- No interior photos are provided, so actual livability, utilities, kitchen and bathroom condition cannot be verified.
- The polished garden and renovated façades shown in several images are illustrative proposals, not the current property.
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 sits at the foot of the Euganean Hills (Colli Euganei), a compact group of volcanic hills that rises directly from the plain within the 15 km radius. The Euganean Hills Regional Park covers much of this landscape. Este itself is the nearest town of size and has a walled historic centre and the Carraresi Castle. Monselice is also nearby and is known for its hilltop Rocca and the route of the Seven Churches. The area is known for vineyards, olive growing, and thermal spa towns on the edge of the hills such as Abano Terme and Montegrotto Terme.
