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 €55,000 for 147 sqm, the ask is just €374/sqm, but with a mixed condition (one unit habitable, one to renovate) a blended renovation budget of about €450/sqm brings the effective cost to roughly €824/sqm. That is above this low-stock baseline of €417/sqm, but the package includes 15,000 sqm of agricultural land, garage/deposits, terrace and panoramic/sea views, which materially adds value and supports a strong score despite the renovation need.
More on the house and the area
This has real lifestyle appeal: a solid, usable country house with a broad rural outlook and a huge amount of land for the price. The livable portion looks functional but plain and dated, while other spaces are clearly more workshop/storage level and need work. It feels more like a practical small homestead than an instant dream house, but the setting and value lift it.
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.
Our read of the photos, €450/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€17,000 – €29,000
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.

- Only one unit appears ready to live in; the other areas need renovation.
- Interiors are basic and dated rather than characterful.
- Exterior forecourt/outbuildings feel utilitarian and cluttered.
- Views are partly screened by trees from the terrace.
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 58/100The cluster sits on the lower hills between the Maiella massif and the Adriatic, in the farmed ridge-and-valley landscape typical of inland Chieti. The Foro and Alento valleys are part of the local terrain, and the Maiella is the main mountain presence within this radius. The nearest larger town is Chieti, which has a substantial historic centre and daily services; Pescara is also close for major retail, rail links and the airport, but outside the immediate landscape. The area is known for olive groves, vineyards and mixed hill farming.
