The 200 m² building is offered at €38,000 but is recorded as a cadastral 'magazzino' (storage), which typically cannot be legally converted to a dwelling and creates a legal-risk veto. Estimated renovation €700/m² → ~€140,000, so effective price ≈€178,000 (≈€890/m²) versus local median €312/m².
More on the house and the area
An honest, traditional Veneto farmhouse with an intact roofline, old shutters and a classic well — set in about 10,000 m² of flat farmland for great privacy and outdoor possibilities. The building is a solid, two‑storey shell that will need comprehensive interior renovation and likely a formal change of use, but at this price it’s a strong bargain for someone wanting a spacious countryside 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€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.

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 38/100This is the southern Veronese plain between Verona and the lower Adige, with flat agricultural land and a dense network of drainage canals and minor roads. The Adige runs to the north of the area, and the Po plain landscape dominates daily life here. Nogara is the nearest town of some size with everyday services and a railway station, and Verona is the main city for higher-order services and monuments.
