Estimated renovation ~€700/m² → renovation ≈ €49,000, so effective price ≈ €89,000 (≈€1,271/m²) versus regional median €343/m²; effective €/m² is much higher than typical. Good access and 12 photos, but this is a full-restore rustico so high renovation cost makes the deal weak at this price.
More on the house and the area
Excellent high‑alpine setting and very photogenic traditional stone-and-timber rustico with intact roof and 360° mountain views. The building appears structurally present and road-accessible, but the interior is a raw shell that will need substantial renovation before it can be a comfortable 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€14,000 – €25,000
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.

- Needs full interior renovation and insulation (raw wooden planks with gaps).
- No visible bathroom/kitchen — likely requires new plumbing/electrical connections.
- Verify permits for change of use to habitation and utility hookups.
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 90/100The village sits in the eastern Dolomites, with the Pale di San Martino group immediately around the valley and close views of the Cimonega and Piz de Sagron side of the range. It is on the upper basin of the Cismon river. Much of the surrounding area falls within Paneveggio – Pale di San Martino Natural Park. The nearest major ski domain is the San Martino di Castrozza–Passo Rolle area, reached by mountain road in roughly 35–45 minutes. The nearest town of some size for daily services is Feltre, which has a hospital, secondary schools and a rail connection. This border area between Trentino and Belluno is known for high Dolomite valleys, forest, pasture and old links between Primiero and the Feltrino.
