What it really costs
- Registered as agricultural or storage, not as a dwelling
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing describes former stables and a cheese-making casera rather than a confirmed dwelling, with no bathrooms and 13,000 m² of agricultural land. At an estimated €1,100/m² renovation cost, effective cost is about €1,576/m² versus the Veneto farmhouse baseline of €310/m².
More on the house and the area
The setting is genuinely spectacular, with sweeping mountain views, open meadows and woodland, while the stone buildings and traditional tiled roofs have strong historic character. However, these appear to be agricultural buildings rather than a usable home, with no bathrooms or finished interiors visible, so this is an ambitious restoration project rather than a move-in house.
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€65,000 – €97,000
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.
- This is a complex of former stables, haylofts and a small cheese-making building, not a finished residence.
- No bathrooms, kitchens or livable interiors are shown; substantial conversion and utility work will be required.
- The large 13,000 sqm property and mountain access/maintenance may involve significant ongoing costs.
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 76/100The cluster sits in the Cansiglio area on the south-eastern edge of the Belluno Prealps, with forested mountains immediately around it and the Alpago basin below. The Cansiglio Forest and the Cansiglio regional park area are within the local landscape. Lake Santa Croce lies below Tambre, about 10 km away. The nearest ski area is Nevegal above Belluno, roughly a 40-minute drive, with larger Dolomite resorts much farther and not part of the immediate setting. Belluno is the nearest provincial town of size, with full services and a historic centre, about half an hour away. The area is known for woodland, summer walking, and the Cansiglio plateau.
