See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 plus an estimated €78,000 for heavy renovation or possible reconstruction, the effective cost is about €2,300/m² versus a local reference of €381/m². The 5,000 m² of land, 80 olive trees and hillside views add appeal, but the house has been uninhabited for over 25 years and needs work from top to bottom.
More on the house and the area
The setting is genuinely attractive, with broad Umbrian hill views, around 80 olive trees, and roughly 5,000 m² of land. However, the 60 m² farmhouse is explicitly a heavy-renovation project after decades of vacancy, potentially requiring demolition and rebuilding, so it is not currently a realistically livable dream home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,300/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€24,000 – €35,000
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.
- Major renovation or demolition and reconstruction may be required.
- The home has been unoccupied for over 25 years; utilities and structural condition are unverified.
- Agricultural outbuildings and extensive land may add maintenance and planning complexity.
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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Terni, so the immediate setting is an urban basin in the Nera valley rather than open countryside. The Nera River runs through the area, and the Marmore Falls lie about 8 km east, fed by the Velino into the Nera. The Valnerina begins just beyond the city toward Papigno and Arrone, with wooded limestone hills and narrower river scenery within the 15 km radius. Terni is the nearest town of size and has the full services of a provincial capital, a railway station, and a substantial industrial fabric. The area is known for the Marmore Falls and for Terni's steel industry.
