The €58,000 asking price is €322/m², below the local €387/m² reference, but the home is described as needing personalization and includes about 80 m² of storage/garage rather than residential space. With roughly €700/m² assumed for renovation, the effective cost becomes high; the listing also does not state the condition, construction year, or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine country home with sweeping Abruzzo hill views, a large landholding, and appealing traditional details such as the fireplace, old wooden doors, and stonework. The residential portion looks habitable but plainly dated, while the extensive storage areas are rough and damp-looking, so this is a characterful live-in home with meaningful work rather than a finished dream house.
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€36,000 – €63,000
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 main living area appears usable but dated and likely needs substantial cosmetic updating.
- The cellar/storage areas show damp staining, clutter, and very rough finishes.
- The property sits directly beside a main road, so traffic noise and access should be checked.
- The 4-hectare landholding will require ongoing maintenance and should be verified for boundaries and permitted uses.
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 58/100The area sits in the low hills between the Vomano and Tordino valleys, with the Gran Sasso massif visible inland in clear weather but outside the immediate 15 km landscape. The Vomano river corridor is nearby. Atri is the nearest historic town of note, with a cathedral and a documented old centre on a ridge above the badlands and Adriatic side hills. This part of the Teramo province is known for mixed farming, olive groves and hill villages.
