At €98,000 (€495/m²), this farmhouse is already about 59% above the local €312/m² benchmark before allowing roughly €150/m² for the unfinished kitchen, gas connection and minor completion work. The description presents it as habitable and renovated, but the missing formal condition, year and energy details reduce confidence in the premium.
More on the house and the area
A highly livable Veneto farmhouse with a leafy private garden, broad valley views, exposed beams, terracotta floors, and an authentic fireplace. The interiors are practical rather than luxurious, but the roofed, finished house appears immediately usable with only modest completion work, making the 198 sqm size and setting especially compelling at this price.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €150/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€10,000 – €16,000
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 main living area appears to lack a fully fitted kitchen and may need a kitchenette installation.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a large 198 sqm home.
- Gas is not currently connected, although the supply line is reportedly nearby.
- The extensive gardens and annex will require ongoing maintenance.
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.
