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 €85,000 for 115 m², the asking price is €739/m²; with a typical renovation allowance of about €700/m², effective cost is roughly €1,439/m² versus a low-stock baseline median of €430/m², so it does not screen as cheap. The text describes multiple deposito/ripostiglio spaces and 0 bathrooms in the facts, so habitability/legal residential use needs verification before treating it as a normal farmhouse purchase.
More on the house and the area
The stone farmhouse has real rustic character and a peaceful countryside setting with broad mountain views and substantial land. But this is not a ready home: the interior shown is an empty, rough space and the property clearly needs a full renovation before anyone could comfortably live there. Dreamy setting, serious project.
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€23,000 – €41,000
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.

- Full renovation needed; interiors are bare and primitive
- No bathroom shown and likely no ready-to-use services
- Livability is currently very limited despite the intact stone structure
- Rural access/land management may require ongoing work
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 57/100The cluster lies on the inland side of the Volturno plain below the Monti Trebulani and not far from the Matese massif, with a mixed landscape of cultivated plain, low wooded hills and limestone mountains in the wider backdrop. The Volturno river runs through this part of northern Campania. The nearest substantial town is Caserta, which provides the main services and rail links for the area. Within this part of the province the area is known for agriculture, especially olive groves, vineyards and orchards, and for small historic hill settlements around the Trebulani foothills.
