The €30,000 asking price is exceptionally low at €77/m², but assuming substantial renovation for this 390 m² mixed-use complex brings the estimated total to about €303,000, or €777/m² versus €406/m² locally. It includes four dwellings plus a 120 m² warehouse and commercial space, while the condition and usable residential area are not stated.
More on the house and the area
A highly atmospheric historic-center property with traditional stonework, dense terracotta rooftops, and an unusually large 390 sqm footprint for €30,000. It is roofed and structurally reads more like a substantial renovation opportunity than a ruin, but the worn exteriors and lack of interior photos prevent calling it a ready-to-live-in home.
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€77,000 – €137,000
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.
- The photos show only rooftops and exteriors, with no proof that the interiors are currently habitable.
- The main building appears weathered and likely requires substantial renovation, especially to finishes, services, and possibly parts of the roof.
- The 390 sqm comprises multiple residential, storage, and commercial units, so renovation and legal/ownership due diligence may be complex.
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 72/100The cluster sits in the Bergamasque pre-Alps, with wooded ridges and small valleys immediately around it. Lake Iseo lies within about 15 km, with the Sebino shoreline, Sarnico and the lake plain forming the main nearby landscape feature. The Oglio river exits Lake Iseo at Sarnico-Paratico. The nearest town of some size is Sarnico on the lake, with a marina, lakeside services and a substantial historic centre; Bergamo is the main city for higher-order services but it is farther and does not affect the score. The area is known for the transition from the lower pre-Alpine hills to Lake Iseo and for wine country on the southern side of the lake in nearby Franciacorta.
