The €50,000 price is attractive at €342/m² versus roughly €564/m² for comparable Lazio farmhouses, and the roof and structural consolidation are already completed. However, the 146 m² house is abandoned, with floors removed and electrical systems unfinished or absent, implying an estimated renovation cost of about €750/m² and an effective cost near €1,092/m².
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial three-level farmhouse with a renovated pitched roof, intact structural frame, balcony, and a genuinely attractive mountain view toward the Valle di Comino. However, the interior is unfinished and abandoned, with removed flooring and incomplete electrical systems, so it is a renovation project rather than a ready-to-live-in home.
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, €750/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€29,000 – €51,000
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.
- Currently abandoned and not move-in ready.
- Interior flooring has been removed and electrical systems are incomplete, especially on the top floor.
- Kitchen and finished living spaces are not shown; substantial renovation and utility work may be required.
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 71/100The area sits in the Comino Valley under the Lazio side of the central Apennines, with the Mainarde and Abruzzo mountain groups close by. The Melfa river runs through this part of the valley. The Parco Nazionale d'Abruzzo, Lazio e Molise begins nearby around Opi, Pescasseroli and the Forca d'Acero side of the mountains, with protected forest and high ridges within about 15 km to the east. The nearest ski area is Campocatino above Guarcino, roughly an hour’s drive away, so it is not part of the immediate landscape. Sora is the nearest larger town, with rail links, shops and services; Cassino is the other main service centre for this side of the province. This part of the old Terra di Lavoro is known for olive groves, hill villages and the mountain access routes toward Forca d'Acero and the national park.
