At €39,000 plus an estimated €56,000 renovation, the effective cost is about €1,188/m²—far above the €260/m² local benchmark. The brief listing does not say whether the farmhouse has a bathroom or clear residential utilities, adding uncertainty.
More on the house and the area
This is a traditional Friulian farmhouse with tiled roofs, shutters, a small garden and some old-house character. However, the interiors are extremely worn, damp-stained and largely empty, with no bathroom listed, so it is a renovation project rather than a realistically livable home today.
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€16,000 – €28,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is needed, including plastering, floors, windows and likely all systems.
- No bathroom is shown or listed, so plumbing and habitability need verification.
- The property sits directly beside a road and under/near prominent overhead electricity infrastructure.
- Garden and outbuildings are overgrown and require clearing and improvement.
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 52/100The area lies on the Friuli plain between the Tagliamento and Meduna river systems, with the Friulian Alps visible to the north in clear weather but not within the immediate 15 km landscape. The Tagliamento runs nearby and is the main natural feature of this part of western Friuli. San Vito al Tagliamento is the nearest town of note, with a walled historic centre and medieval layout. The wider area is known for vineyards and wine production, including the local white wine associated with Casarsa.
