What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a large farmhouse explicitly described as da ristrutturare, so I used about €1,100/m² renovation cost. Effective cost is roughly €1,256/m² (€95,000 + renovation on 608 m²), which is still far below the Marche farmhouse baseline of €312/m² plus works implied by the very low ask, making it a strong value renovation play despite sparse listing data and only 1 photo.
More on the house and the area
The description suggests a large independent farmhouse in a panoramic, private Marche countryside setting, which gives it some dream-value on paper. But with no usable photo evidence and a stated need for renovation, this reads more as a big project than a ready home. The size and price are intriguing, yet the current beauty and real livability cannot be confirmed.
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€241,000 – €356,000
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.
- Only one unavailable photo, so visual wow cannot really be verified
- Described as a farmhouse to be renovated, so livability is currently limited
- No bathroom is listed in the facts
- Condition, roof and utilities are not 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 58/100This is a hill area of the lower Marche between the Potenza and Chienti valleys, with cultivated ridges, fields and scattered farmhouses. The nearest river landscape is the Potenza valley to the north and the Chienti corridor to the south. Montecassiano itself is a walled hill town, and within this radius Recanati is the nearest larger historic town, with a substantial old centre and Leopardi associations. Macerata is also nearby, with full town services and the Sferisterio arena. The Adriatic coast around Porto Recanati and Civitanova Marche is outside the immediate landscape but close enough to matter for daily logistics. This part of the Marche is known for mixed farming and hill towns between the coast and the Apennines.
