Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €75,000 (€1,103/m²), even assuming only €200/m² for the unspecified condition, the effective cost is about €1,303/m²—nearly four times comparable local stock at €336/m². The mountain setting, terrace and land add appeal, but the listing does not establish the renovation quality, building age or technical condition.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely livable mountain home with an exceptional forested Alpine backdrop, generous terraces, and productive garden/land. The wood-panelled interiors and traditional village setting add charm, although the house is compact and very dated rather than polished or move-in stylish. At €75,000, the scenery and outdoor space make it a compelling dreamer’s retreat.
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 – €7,000
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.
- Interiors are fully usable but distinctly dated, especially the bathroom and finishes.
- Energy class G suggests potentially high heating costs in this alpine climate.
- The exterior terraces, railings, and access areas appear weathered and may need maintenance.
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 74/100The cluster sits in the Carnic Alps (Alpi Carniche). Within about 15 km are high Carnic peaks, including Monte Coglians (Monte Coglians, 2,780 m), the highest summit in Friuli-Venezia Giulia. The local landscape is typical high-Alpine: steep valleys, mountain pastures, marked hiking routes and mountain refuges (rifugi). The main Alpine ridge and the Austrian border lie across the nearby high ground. The Carnic front from World War I crosses this sector and there are military positions, trenches and mountain war routes in the wider area. Nearest significant service town for shops, hospital and rail is Tolmezzo, approximately 25–30 km to the south. Winter sports in the area are oriented to small local slopes and cross-country routes, with larger downhill ski resorts in the Carnia reachable by a drive of tens of minutes. The wider Carnia area is known for mountain pastures, traditional alpine cheese production (Montasio in the broader area) and mountain-hiking culture.
