200 m² price EUR 35k but listed as storage/cantina and 'to verify' conversion to residential; estimated renovation ~EUR700/m² (≈EUR140k) makes effective price ≈EUR875/m² vs regional reference EUR322/m², so total cost is well above market. Listing does not confirm habitability, services or legal conversion.
More on the house and the area
A solid, photogenic stone portion in the historic centre with vaulted cellar, intact roof and a private ~300 m² garden. Beautiful character and a genuine bargain, but the interior is rough storage so this is a renovation/conversion project requiring permits and a full fit‑out.
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€40,000 – €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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

- Interior is a raw shell (dirt floors, no services) — full renovation and fit‑out required
- Currently used as deposit/cantina; conversion to residential use must be verified with local authorities
- Likely significant costs for plumbing, electrics, insulation and interior finishes
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 Valsugana, with the Lagorai range close by and the lower slopes of the Trentino mountains enclosing the valley. The Brenta river runs through Borgo Valsugana. Lake Levico and Lake Caldonazzo are within about 15 km to the west. Arte Sella, the open-air contemporary art route in Val di Sella, is just above Borgo Valsugana. The nearest sizeable town is Trento, which has full services, a university, and major rail connections. The area is known for the Valsugana valley landscape, mixed woodland and pasture on the slopes, and cycling along the valley corridor.
