At €53,000 (€177/m²), the low purchase price is offset by the proposed conversion into four apartments, implying roughly €383,000 all-in or €1,277/m² after a major renovation. The listing does not state the current condition, permits, or whether the building is immediately habitable.
More on the house and the area
The colorful façades, traditional shutters, lanterns, and beautifully paved courtyard give the property attractive Italian village character. However, the interior evidence is largely unfinished and the listing describes a project for four apartments, so this is a substantial conversion rather than a ready-to-live-in country house. At €53,000 for roughly 300 square meters, it has strong project-value appeal but limited immediate dream-home wow.
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€119,000 – €176,000
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 renovation/conversion project, not a move-in-ready home.
- The listing proposes creating four apartments, so the current layout and condition may require substantial work.
- No interior gallery confirms finished kitchens, bathrooms, heating, or utilities.
- The property appears directly connected to a village street, with no private garden or major view.
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 61/100The cluster sits in the Brianza hills between the Adda valley and the first ridges below Monte Resegone and Monte San Genesio. The Adda river is within the local area, with the river corridor around Paderno and Brivio forming the main natural feature nearby. Montevecchia and the Curone Valley Regional Park lies partly within this area, with wooded hills, fields and small ridges typical of upper Brianza. The nearest larger towns are Merate and Lecco; Lecco has a full provincial town role on the branch of Lake Como, while Merate provides everyday services. Lake Annone and the southern end of Lake Como are reachable nearby, but the immediate setting is chiefly settled hill country rather than lakefront. This part of Brianza is known for mixed residential settlement, small industry, farmland and historic villas scattered through the hills.
