Nell'antico e caratteristico paese di Cercivento, vendiamo un immobile, parzialmente arredato, facente parte di un antico edificio storico che si sviluppa su tre livelli e dispone di un'area scoperta di pertinenza ad uso esclusivo. Il primo piano è composto da ingresso, soggiorno, e ripostiglio. Il secondo piano…
What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 for 189 sqm (€450/sqm), this looks cheap, but the description suggests only partial fit-out over three levels and mentions a ripostiglio, so I treated it as needing renovation at about €700/sqm, bringing effective cost to roughly €1,150/sqm. The local baseline is weak (only 7 comps, median €340/sqm), so the score relies more on absolute plausibility than comparison, and the missing condition/energy data limits confidence.
More on the house and the area
This has real dream value: a historic village house with vaulted stone entrance spaces, a private garden area, terrace, and lovely mountain views. The house looks structurally complete and genuinely usable now, with kitchen, bathroom, floors and bedrooms already in place, though it needs cosmetic updating and exterior tidying. It is more authentic and livable than polished, but at this price the setting and scale give it strong wow.
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€37,000 – €66,000
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.
- Exterior needs cosmetic refresh
- Interiors are dated rather than stylish
- Only one bathroom shown
- Mountain village setting may feel remote
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 78/100The cluster sits in the Carnic Alps, in the upper But valley. The But river runs through this part of the valley system, and the mountain setting is immediate. This is Carnia, with alpine villages, forested slopes and higher rocky ridges toward the Austrian border. The nearest ski area is Zoncolan above Ravascletto and Sutrio, roughly 15 minutes by road, with larger winter sports infrastructure than most of Friuli’s mountain valleys. Tolmezzo is the nearest main town of size, with schools, shops, hospital services and the valley’s main administrative functions. The area is known for the Carnic mountain landscape, traditional alpine settlements and access to mountain routes toward Monte Zoncolan and the higher Carnic chain.
