The 180 m² farmhouse is described as an APE “unità collabente,” indicating a collapsed ruin requiring roughly €1,100/m² to restore, or about €198,000 before the €62,000 purchase price. It has been listed for 323 days, confirming a stale listing; the ruin condition triggers the veto.
More on the house and the area
A wonderfully photogenic early-20th-century farmhouse with a traditional tiled roof, mature trees, and a broad green agricultural setting. However, it is a renovation project rather than a livable home: the photos show only the deteriorated exterior, and the listing identifies it as a collabente with no bathrooms or bedrooms.
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€71,000 – €105,000
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.

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 43/100The cluster lies on the southern Venetian plain between the Bacchiglione and Brenta water systems, in flat reclaimed farmland with drainage canals and lagoon-edge wetlands. The Venetian Lagoon is nearby, and the southern lagoon landscape around Chioggia and the mouths of the Brenta and Adige shapes the area more than any hill or mountain. The nearest town of size is Chioggia, which has a historic centre, fishing port and daily services; Padova is the main larger city for higher-order services. The area is known for market gardening, reclaimed agricultural land and the lagoon-fishing environment.
