The €19,000 asking price is only €95/m², but the completely unrestored 200 m² stone farmhouse could require about €220,000 in renovation, bringing the estimated total to roughly €239,000 (€1,195/m²) versus €260/m² for comparable local stock. The mountain setting and 1,747 m² of nearby land add appeal, but the restoration burden is substantial and the listing does not say whether utilities or bathrooms are currently usable.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€79,000 – €117,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
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 76/100The cluster is in the western Friulian pre-Alps, under the ridges of the Val Colvera and close to the Carnic Prealps. The Colvera stream cuts a narrow valley here, with wooded slopes and small hamlets on terraces. The area touches the Parco Naturale delle Dolomiti Friulane, and the protected mountain group is immediately nearby. Piancavallo is the nearest ski area, roughly an hour by road depending on the exact hamlet. Maniago is the nearest town of size, with services, shops and an industrial base, and the wider area is known for mountain villages and traditional knife-making around Maniago. Poffabro, in the same comune, is listed among I Borghi più belli d'Italia.
