Asking €72,000 (€424/m2) vs regional median €375/m2, but needs renovation (~€700/m2) so effective cost ≈ €191,000 or ~€1,123/m2, far above typical values. The listing text says ~120 m2 while the facts show 170 m2, a clear contradiction.
More on the house and the area
A lovely stone farmhouse sitting in a wide sunny meadow with mature trees and sweeping mountain/valley views; the exterior and roof look intact. It’s clearly a solid, characterful building but requires renovation inside — a realistic project to turn into a beautiful year‑round 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€34,000 – €60,000
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.

The area around
Location score 76/100The cluster is in the upper Val Camonica in the Adamello-Presanella Alps. The Oglio runs down the valley floor nearby. Adamello Regional Park lies just to the south-west and the Stelvio National Park boundary is close above the upper valley around Ponte di Legno and the Tonale side. The nearest ski lifts are at Ponte di Legno and Passo del Tonale, roughly 15–25 minutes by road depending on the exact lift. Edolo is the nearest town of some size, with shops, schools and rail connection down the Val Camonica; Ponte di Legno is the main nearby resort centre. The area is known for alpine pastures, conifer woods and access to the upper Camonica passes and ski domain.
