What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €33,000 for 150 sqm, the ask is about €220/sqm; with a habitable-home allowance of ~€200/sqm, effective cost is ~€420/sqm, almost exactly the Abruzzo townhouse baseline of €418/sqm, so this is good value rather than a steal. Strong positives are 44 photos, detached stone house, furnished/habitable condition, panoramic village-center setting and 5 bedrooms, with only modest downside from older single-glazed windows and a remote mountain location 38 km from the sea.
More on the house and the area
The real wow here is the dramatic Majella mountain panorama combined with a genuinely habitable, very large village house at a strikingly low price. Inside it is old-fashioned rather than beautiful, but it has usable rooms, original vaulted ceilings, a fireplace/stove setup, and looks ready for occupancy with refreshment rather than full renovation. The exterior is simple and not especially photogenic, yet the scale, balcony views and practical livability make it easy to imagine actually living here.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€10,000 – €17,000
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.
- Interiors are very dated and need cosmetic updating.
- Single-glazed windows may mean weaker comfort/efficiency.
- Bathroom is basic and there is only one bathroom for a large house.
- Plain rendered exterior hides most of the stone character.
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 71/100The Maiella massif rises immediately to the west, with the eastern slopes of the mountain system within this radius. Colledimacine sits in the Sangro valley country, with the Sangro river and the artificial Lake Bomba nearby. The Maiella National Park begins nearby on the mountain side of the valley. The nearest ski lifts are the Passolanciano-Majelletta area, roughly an hour away by road, so they are not part of the immediate landscape. The nearest town of size is Casoli, which has day-to-day services, and Lanciano is the larger centre for a fuller range of shops and hospitals. The area is known for small hill villages, olive and mixed farming on the lower slopes, and access into the eastern Maiella valleys.
