What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 for 238 sqm, the ask is about €252/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €312/sqm in Marche, so the entry price is attractive. But with unknown condition, 0 bathrooms listed, and only a generic description, I assume a renovation-level cost of about €700/sqm, which makes the effective cost ordinary rather than exceptional.
More on the house and the area
The building has real rustic presence: a handsome brick farmhouse with elegant arched openings and authentic rural character. But this looks like a heavy restoration project rather than a usable home today, with visible roof deterioration, overgrowth, and no proof of finished interiors or services. Attractive shell, not yet a dream home to live in.
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€47,000 – €83,000
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.
- Appears to need major renovation, especially the roof/eaves.
- No bathroom is listed and interiors are not shown, so livability is unproven.
- Overgrown plot and neglected exterior suggest long vacancy.
- Position is directly by a road junction, so it may lack peace/privacy despite the greenery.
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 72/100The cluster sits in the hilly upper valley country at the eastern side of the Sibillini chain, with the Monti Sibillini visible and close within the 15 km landscape. The Fiastrone valley and the area of Lake Fiastra are nearby, and much of this territory falls within the Monti Sibillini National Park. The nearest ski area is Sassotetto at Sarnano, roughly a 30 to 40 minute drive depending on the exact hamlet. The nearest town of some size is Tolentino, with everyday services and rail connections; Sarnano is closer and has a substantial historic centre. This part of inland Macerata is known for stone hill villages, woodland, pasture and the approach roads into the Sibillini.
