Why this price is what it is

At €500/m² the asking price matches the local baseline, but the 60 m² interior is unfinished, utilities are incomplete, and conversion from C/6 to a dwelling still needs municipal approval. With roughly €66,000 in renovation, the effective cost is about €1,600/m², before addressing the access road and sewer connection.

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

The setting is genuinely appealing, with a secluded wooded plot, broad mountain views and around 1,600 m² of terraced land. The building has an intact roof and attractive rural position, but it is an unfinished shell with bare floors and walls, no completed services, and no demonstrated livable interior. At €30,000 it is a promising renovation project rather than a ready-to-live-in dream home.

Comfortable€600–900/m²

All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.

Our read of the photos, €1,100/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.

What worries us about this house
  • Interiors are completely unfinished, with no fitted kitchen or bathroom visible.
  • Currently registered as C/6 rather than a residential dwelling; conversion must be verified with the municipality.
  • Sewer connection is still needed and electricity is approximately 50 metres away.
  • Access includes a final 50-metre unpaved gravel section.

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 72/100

The cluster is on the western side of Monte Terminillo in the Sabine Apennines. The Velino River plain and the Piana Reatina lie immediately below, and the Laghi Lungo e Ripasottile wetlands are within the basin near Rieti. The Riserva Naturale dei Laghi Lungo e Ripasottile is the protected area closest to the village, and much of the Terminillo massif is covered by the Monti Reatini regional reserve. The nearest ski lifts are on Monte Terminillo above Pian de' Valli, roughly 25–35 minutes by road depending on the exact hamlet. Rieti is the nearest town of size and has a full range of services, a historic centre, and the cathedral. The area is known for the Monte Terminillo mountain, the Rieti plain, and the Franciscan sites around the Reatine valley.
