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
At €70,000 for 113 sqm plus an estimated €700/sqm renovation, the effective cost is about €1,319/sqm, far above the local baseline of €255/sqm for sub-€100k farmhouse stock. The description supports a real dwelling in central Chions with garden, but as a renovation project it looks expensive relative to this baseline.
More on the house and the area
This has real rustic farmhouse character: long brick elevations, a handsome barn arch and a useful private garden give it visual appeal. But the photos show only exteriors and the listing clearly presents it as a renovation project, not a ready home. At €70k for 113 sqm with land it has some bargain pull, yet the lack of shown interiors and zero bathrooms keep the wow firmly capped.
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€22,000 – €40,000
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.

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 40/100This is the lower Friulian plain between the Livenza basin and the rivers of the Pordenone area, with flat cultivated land, drainage channels and scattered settlements. The nearest town of size is Pordenone, which has a substantial historic centre, rail links and the main services of the province. The Adriatic coast around Caorle and the lagoon edge are outside the immediate 15 km landscape, and the same is true of the Alpine scenery to the north. The area is known mainly for agriculture and small industry on the plain.
