At €56,000 (€467/m²), this 120 m² farmhouse requires complete restoration, estimated at about €132,000, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,567/m² versus a local reference of €310/m². The listing provides only four photos and does not clarify the dwelling’s current legal and serviceability status, despite presenting two buildings and several possible layouts.
More on the house and the area
This is a photogenic old Veneto farmhouse with traditional tiled roofs, exposed brick, chimneys, outbuildings, and a substantial green area. However, it is explicitly a complete renovation project, with no usable interior evidence and no documented bathrooms or bedrooms, so it is not a realistic move-in home yet.
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€48,000 – €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.

- Completely to be renovated; not currently habitable.
- No bathrooms or bedrooms are documented, and interiors are not shown.
- The roof and masonry appear aged, so structural and utility work should be verified.
- The listing describes two adjoining buildings and an optional adjacent agricultural plot, requiring careful confirmation of the exact property boundaries.
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 57/100The area is in the southern Veneto plain between the Euganean Hills to the northeast and the first low rises toward the Berici and Lessini farther west, but the immediate surroundings are flat farmland crossed by minor canals and roads. The Frassine river runs by Montagnana. Montagnana itself is known for its complete medieval walled circuit with gates and towers, and it is listed among I Borghi più belli d'Italia. The nearest larger centres are Este and Monselice to the northeast, with services, rail links and historic town centres.
