At €65,000, complete restoration of 400 m² could add roughly €440,000, putting the effective cost near €1,260/m² versus a local benchmark of €311/m². The 4 km distance from the sea and approximately 3,000 m² of surrounding land add potential for a B&B, but the demolition/reconstruction scope makes this a weak deal.
More on the house and the area
This is a striking old Abruzzo farmhouse with weathered historic masonry, arched openings, broad grounds, and a pleasant rolling countryside view. However, it is an uninhabitable rustico with badly damaged roofs and no visible livable interior, so it is a major redevelopment project rather than a home someone could realistically move into.
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€158,000 – €234,000
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.
- Complete renovation or likely demolition and rebuild is required.
- The photos show severely deteriorated roofs, masonry, and interiors with no usable bathroom or living facilities.
- Large agricultural land is attractive, but utilities, structural integrity, permits, and access need verification.
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 56/100This is the lower Val Vibrata, with farmed hills descending to the Adriatic plain. The Adriatic coast is nearby around Alba Adriatica and Tortoreto. The nearest larger town is San Benedetto del Tronto, which has a port, rail station and full services. To the west the Gran Sasso and Monti della Laga are the main mountain block of the province, but they are well beyond the immediate area and do not define the 15 km surroundings. The area is known for vineyards, olive groves and mixed agriculture, with many small hill towns spread between the coast and the inland valleys.
