At €28,000, the property is inexpensive, but the listing gives conflicting sizes—25 m² in the data versus about 50 m² in the description—and provides no condition or habitability details. As a remote rustic stavolo in Lauco, assume substantial restoration costs of roughly €1,100/m²; the limited local comparison makes the final value uncertain.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely charming Carnian mountain farmhouse with exposed stone, old beams, wooden balconies, a private green garden, and spectacular Alpine views. The house is furnished and clearly usable, with a kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, living room, and fireplace, though it is rustic rather than move-in polished. At €28,000, the combination of livable character and dramatic setting is exceptionally appealing.
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€10,000 – €15,000
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.
- Rustic interiors show peeling plaster and signs of age/moisture.
- The bathroom and kitchen are very basic and may need modernization.
- Small floor area and village access should be checked carefully.
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.
