What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
Villa portion (ex-casale) of 164sqm at €274/m2 vs baseline median €327/m2, ~16% below market. Independent, free on three sides, with detached outbuildings usable as garage/laundry/workshop and a private well. Needs renovation, so budget ~€800/m2 for full works. Fresh listing (1 day). Agricultural land is optional/separate and doesn't compromise the residential purchase. Solid entry price with renovation upside; a good deal for a buyer willing to renovate.
More on the house and the area
Stone-built former colonial farmhouse (ex casale colonico) in Cartoceto di Pergola, Marche, detached on three sides at a very low €274/m² for 164 sqm (€45k). Genuine rustic character: exposed stone walls, arched entry with wrought-iron fanlight, terracotta floors, wooden beam ceilings, and a carved stone detail. Green rolling-hills backdrop with private well and optional agricultural land nearby. However it needs significant renovation—tired beams, dated green bathroom, plain interiors—so the appeal is potential/bargain rather than move-in wow. Solid charming rural project with strong historic bones and countryside setting.
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, €800/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€32,000 – €58,000
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 58/100The area sits in the inland Marche hills in the upper Cesano valley, with cultivated ridges, woods and folded low Apennine country around it. The Cesano river runs through Pergola. The nearest higher ground is the Apennine belt toward Catria and Nerone to the west, visible in the wider area and reached by road in well under an hour, but not inside the immediate 15 km landscape. Pergola is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre; it is known above all for the Gilded Bronzes of Cartoceto kept in its museum. Fossombrone and Cagli are the other main service towns in the wider inland corridor.
