See what needs doing and what each job costs
The listing is a judicial auction (VETO) and describes a 'fabbricato rurale' which may be an agricultural building. At €58,956 plus modest renovation (~€200/m² → total ≈€76k), effective ≈€877/m² vs regional median €418/m², so this is not a bargain and requires tribunal documentation and legal review.
More on the house and the area
A very characterful stone farmhouse set on a dramatic mountain slope with real valley views and private surrounding land. The building is roofed and reads as broadly habitable but looks like it needs exterior/roof attention and interior upgrading; buy via auction only after full legal/document checks.
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€6,000 – €10,000
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.
- Steep, remote hillside access — could be difficult for regular driving and deliveries
- Exterior shows signs of wear and parts of the roof/stonework may need repair
- Property is an auction lot — verify title, servitudes and any extra legal/cost obligations; interior condition not well documented
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 72/100The cluster sits in the Val Seriana with the Orobie Alps immediately around it. The Serio river runs down the valley. The Parco delle Orobie Bergamasche lies nearby in the upper valley and mountain area. The nearest ski lifts are the Presolana/Monte Pora area, reached in roughly 20–30 minutes by road, with larger Bergamo-side ski areas farther up the Orobie valleys. Clusone itself is the main town of the upper valley, with a full small-town center, services, and the well-known medieval clock on the Palazzo Comunale; Lovere on Lake Iseo is also within the wider local orbit. The area is known for Alpine valley scenery, pasture and woodland, and as the gateway toward the Presolana massif.
