See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €40,000 (€339/m²), the farmhouse is far below the asking-price baseline, but integral renovation at roughly €1,100/m² brings the effective cost to about €170,000, or €1,439/m². The 500 m² garden and garage add appeal, but the substantial works make this weak value for a 118 m² home.
More on the house and the area
This is a traditional roofed farmhouse with characterful timber beams, a grape-covered frontage, and an unusually generous private garden of about 500 sqm. However, the house needs integral renovation, and the attractive kitchen and bedroom images are only hypothetical furnishing proposals rather than the current interiors. At €40,000 it offers strong project value, but it is not yet a realistically move-in-ready dream home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€47,000 – €69,000
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 property requires complete renovation, despite the attractive staged interior images being labeled as a furnishing proposal.
- The actual house appears dated, with worn façades, old shutters, and basic outbuildings.
- Energy class G; renovation costs, utilities, and compliance should be carefully verified.2024
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 cluster sits on the lower Friulian plain near the Corno and Ausa river system and the Marano Lagoon. The Laguna di Marano lies within about 15 km, with reed beds, fishing valleys and low islands between the mainland and the Adriatic. The nearest larger centres are Lignano Sabbiadoro for beach services and Palmanova for a full range of shops and services; Udine is farther and matters more for higher-level services than for the immediate landscape. The area is known for flat reclaimed farmland, waterways, lagoon fishing and the port-industrial zone around Porto Nogaro.
