Casa indipendente in Via Monsignor Carusi
-L'Eremo di Luce: Un Canto di Libertà tra i Tetti di Pollutri Esistono dimore che non si misurano in metri quadri, ma in respiri. Case che non chiedono solo di essere abitate, ma di essere ascoltate. A Pollutri in Via Mons. Carusi, dove il borgo bacia l'orizzonte, si schiude una porta che non è solo un ingresso, ma un…
What it really costs

Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 for 93 m² (€645/m²), this is already well above the local comparison level of €386/m²; allowing a modest €200/m² for unspecified updating brings the effective cost to about €845/m². The home appears usable and has 26 photos, but the listing does not state its renovation condition or age of systems, and the 7 km distance from the sea adds limited location premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, move-in-ready home with a fitted kitchen, functioning bathroom, heating, air conditioning, three bedrooms, and generous outdoor space. Its strongest feature is the exceptional elevated outlook over the historic hill town, rolling Abruzzo countryside, and the sea beyond. The house itself is plain and somewhat dated, but the livability and panoramic setting make it a compelling dream-home candidate.
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 – €11,000
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.
- The home is clearly usable and furnished, but interiors and finishes are dated rather than exceptional.
- Energy class G may mean higher heating costs and future efficiency work.
- The exterior, balconies, railings, and terrace look functional but weathered; verify maintenance and waterproofing.
- The advertised mansard and optional 70 sqm garage are not clearly shown in the gallery and should be inspected separately.
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 61/100The cluster sits in the low hills above the Adriatic coast of southern Abruzzo. The Adriatic is nearby, with the Costa dei Trabocchi stretch of coast around Vasto and San Salvo as the main coastal reference for daily life. The Sinello valley is close by, and the inland horizon is the Abruzzo Apennine chain on clear days rather than a mountain landscape at the door. Vasto is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre, services, shops and beaches. The area is known for olive groves, vineyards and mixed farmland.
