What it really costs

Not before the basics are done
In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €69,000 for 140 sqm, the asking price is €493/sqm, but with a typical 'needs renovation' budget of about €700/sqm the effective cost is roughly €1,193/sqm. That is far above this stock baseline of €417/sqm in Abruzzo townhouses, while the location has some tourism/nature appeal but not enough to offset the renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, usable house rather than a shell: large, furnished, with kitchen, bathrooms, heating and several bedrooms already in place. The best wow comes from the green mountain setting and balcony outlook, while the house itself feels plain and dated rather than beautiful. At €69k for 140 sqm, the value helps, but this is more a solid refresh project than a dream-home scroll stopper.
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€28,000 – €49,000
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 71/100The cluster sits in the upper Liri valley with the central Apennines close around it, and the Simbruini mountains rise immediately to the west on the Lazio border. The Liri river runs through this part of the valley. The western side of the 15 km area reaches the Abruzzo, Lazio e Molise National Park around Bisegna and the Cicerana reserve lies nearby above the valley. The nearest substantial town is Avezzano, which provides the main rail and road services, hospitals and larger shops for this part of inland Abruzzo. This stretch of Marsica is known for mountain villages above a river valley and for access into the protected Apennine interior.
