At €40,000 for 120 m², this is €333/m² upfront, but the property must be reconstructed, putting the estimated all-in cost near €1,433/m²—well above the limited local comparison level of €534/m². The listing does not say whether it is currently habitable or clarify the existing structure and permits for the proposed expansion.
More on the house and the area
The setting is genuinely beautiful, with sweeping forested mountain views, sunny alpine pasture, woodland, and evocative dry-stone ruins. But this is a reconstruction project rather than a usable home: the gallery shows roofless remnants and no livable interior, so the dramatic landscape does not support a high dream-home score.
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.
- The 120 sqm mountain hut is explicitly sold to be rebuilt, not lived in as-is.
- Visible stone walls appear roofless or heavily collapsed, with no usable interior shown.
- Remote hillside access and likely infrastructure, permitting, and reconstruction costs need careful verification.
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 78/100The cluster is in the Orobie and the upper Val Camonica–Valtellina pass country at the Passo dell’Aprica. Ski lifts leave directly from Aprica for the Aprica-Corteno system, with larger lift areas at Ponte di Legno–Tonale about 35–45 minutes away depending on road conditions. Edolo is the nearest town of some size on the Val Camonica side, with daily services and rail access, and Tirano is the nearest larger centre on the Valtellina side, with shops, hospitals and the Bernina railway. The area is known for mountain tourism, skiing and access between Val Camonica and Valtellina.
