€55,000 buys a 90 m² two-level C/2 rural building plus approximately 18,000 m² of land, with sound walls and roof, panoramic mountain surroundings, and a stated possibility of residential conversion. The conversion is not guaranteed, utilities are not connected, vehicle access is limited, and the listed 5,490 m² conflicts with the description, so the apparent €10/m² figure should not be taken at face value.
More on the house and the area
A photogenic stone farmhouse with a traditional tiled roof, mountain-village views, and an appealing mix of meadow and woodland. However, the interior is entirely agricultural—a stable and hayloft—with no demonstrated kitchen or living spaces, so this is a substantial conversion project rather than a home you could occupy soon.
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€1,087,000 – €1,927,000
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.

- This is a two-level barn/stable and hayloft, not a livable home; substantial renovation is required.
- Change of use from C/2 agricultural/storage status to residential use is only described as possible and must be verified.
- Access is via a shared pedestrian road, with the drivable dirt road about 100 meters away.
- Electricity is not currently connected; utilities and interior installations are unclear.
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 73/100The cluster sits in the Orobie Bergamasche, in the upper Val Serina, with pre-Alpine ridges and steep wooded slopes around the village. The Serina valley is a branch of the Brembana system, and the Brembo river valley is the main route down toward San Pellegrino Terme and Bergamo. The Parco delle Orobie Bergamasche lies nearby in the surrounding mountains. The nearest substantial skiing is the Brembo Ski area around Foppolo and Carona, roughly an hour by road depending on conditions. Zogno and San Pellegrino Terme are the nearest larger centres in the valley system for everyday services, while Bergamo is the main city reached by road over the passes or down the valley. The area is known for mountain villages, forests, summer walking and the old spa axis of the Brembana valley.
