Rustico/casale
A San Paolo di Morsano al Tagliamento in zona tranquilla, ti attende una casa indipendente da reinventare completamente: due livelli da 50 mq ciascuno, una soffitta di altri 50 mq e un magazzino di 65 mq che aggiunge spazio e possibilità. Sul retro, un giardino di circa 200 mq offre privacy e respiro. L’immobile richiede una ristrutturazione totale, ma proprio...
What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €35,000 for 168 sqm, the ask is €208/sqm, but the description says full restoration is needed, so estimated works are about €1,100/sqm, bringing the effective cost near €1,308/sqm. The baseline is very weak, so this relies on absolute plausibility rather than market comparison; for a total-renovation farmhouse this is not especially cheap.
More on the house and the area
This is a very cheap, sizeable house with a useful rear garden and outbuilding, so it has practical potential. But the photos show a fully tired property: worn facades, rough upper interiors and a house to reinvent rather than a charming home to move into. More project than dream house in its current state.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€67,000 – €98,000
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.
- Total renovation required
- Upper floor/attic appears raw and currently not livable
- Exterior shows heavy wear and damp deterioration
- Beauty is limited: no view or standout historic features proven
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 43/100This is the lower Friulian plain between the Tagliamento and Stella river areas, with flat cultivated land, drainage channels and scattered villages. The Tagliamento runs within this radius and is the main natural feature of the area. Latisana is the nearest larger town in daily use, with rail services, shops and basic administrative functions. Udine is farther away and matters more for higher-order services than for the immediate landscape. The area is known for agriculture and for being part of the broad flat countryside of the Bassa Friulana.
