Why this price is what it is

At €42,500 (€109/m²), this 390 m² farmhouse looks cheap against the €292/m² local benchmark, but a €700/m² renovation estimate raises the effective cost to about €809/m². The panoramic setting, garage, cellar and large land add appeal, but the listing does not say how much land is included or confirm living facilities.

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

The strongest appeal is the expansive private-looking land and broad panoramic views across the Molise hills and mountains. However, the farmhouse is visibly unfinished, with bare brick walls, blocked or temporary-looking openings, and no evidence of usable interiors, so it is a substantial renovation project rather than a ready home.

Minimum to live in it€350–500/m²
€137,000 – €195,000

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.

Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.

Turnkey, facade and insulation included.

Materials only, work you may do yourself€77,000 – €137,000

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.

Connections and paperworkabout €10,000

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.

What worries us about this house
  • The building appears to be an unfinished brick shell requiring substantial renovation.
  • No interior, bathroom, kitchen, or bedroom condition is shown; livability and utilities are unverified.
  • The large rural property may involve significant access, heating, plumbing, and completion costs.

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 54/100

The area is in the central Molise hills, with open ridges, cultivated slopes and small wooded patches. Within this radius the main named natural feature is the Biferno valley system, which shapes much of the surrounding countryside. Campobasso is the nearest town of size, with services, shops and the regional rail connection. This part of Molise is known for mixed farming and hill villages rather than a single standout monument or protected landscape.
