In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €90,000 (€225/m²), the 400 m² villa is priced below local listings, but its stated renovation needs imply roughly €280,000 in works, bringing the effective cost near €925/m². The listing gives no bathroom count, building year, or energy information, and the sea is 26 km away.
More on the house and the area
This large rural farmhouse has beautiful panoramic views across the rolling Marche countryside, extensive surrounding land, and attractive historic tile-roofed buildings. However, the weathered exterior and lack of bathrooms or interior images suggest a serious renovation project rather than a move-in-ready 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, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€79,000 – €140,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

The area around
Location score 67/100The cluster is in the hilly inland belt between the Tesino valley and the first ridges of the Sibillini Apennines. Monte Ascensione is nearby and the Sibillini range rises to the west within this radius. Much of the mountain area west of here falls in the Monti Sibillini National Park. The nearest larger town is Ascoli Piceno, with a substantial historic centre and services. This part of southern Marche is known for hill villages, mixed farming, vineyards and olive groves, with stronger mountain scenery as you move up toward the Sibillini.
