In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Effective price ≈ €1,629/m² (€100k + ~€14k renovation = €114k total) versus regional baseline €380/m² — about 4.3× higher, so the house is priced well above comparable stock. The property is habitable, has ~4,000 m² of land and 38 photos, but the premium over the baseline is the main negative.
More on the house and the area
A characterful cascina with exposed beams, a fireplace and about 4,000 m² of mixed meadow and woodland offering real privacy and sweeping views of the Val Brembana. The building is habitable and beautifully sited for someone seeking a tranquil mountain retreat, though access and basic utilities are rustic rather than fully modernized.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/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€5,000 – €8,000
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.
- Access via a narrow 120 m lane + ~80 m historic footpath — not car-convenient.
- No mains gas (cooking/heating via bottles) and hot water from a boiler.
- Rural, slightly rustic set-up — best as a weekend/seasonal home or for buyers happy with off-grid charms.
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 58/100The cluster sits at the mouth of the Valle Imagna and close to the first Bergamasque Prealps, with the Canto Alto and the Albenza ridge in the surrounding relief. The Brembo river runs just west of the built-up area, and the Serio valley system is nearby on the eastern side of Bergamo’s hinterland. The nearest substantial town is Bergamo, which has the Città Alta, major services, rail links and an airport at Orio al Serio farther south. This part of the province is known for the transition from the Bergamo plain to the prealpine valleys, with dense settlement on the lower slopes and valley floors.
