This is explicitly an auction listing ("asta immobiliare"), which is a veto red flag for this catalog. The text also states "l'immobile non risulta agibile", so despite the low asking price (€42,265 for 1,217 sqm, €35/m² vs baseline €358/m²), it is not a straightforward livable purchase.
More on the house and the area
This is a real, roofed villa rather than a ruin, with usable-looking interiors, a fireplace, beams and a pleasant mountain backdrop. The exterior has some charm and the price is strikingly low for the size, but the setting is more practical than dreamy and the legal/agibility issue holds the score down. It feels like a solid bargain home that needs sorting, not a top-tier fantasy property.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€80,000 – €136,000
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.
- The house is stated as not officially habitable/agibile.
- Outdoor areas look overgrown and neglected, so immediate cleanup is needed.
- Setting is semi-rural with some nearby industrial/agricultural yards rather than a romantic village context.
- Photos show only limited interiors, so the full internal condition is not fully 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 55/100Avezzano sits on the Fucino plain beneath the Abruzzo Apennines, with Monte Velino and the Velino-Sirente chain close by. The former Lake Fucino basin shapes the area: it is now a broad reclaimed agricultural plain ringed by mountains. The Sirente-Velino Regional Park begins nearby in the surrounding massif. Ovindoli-Monte Magnola, the nearest significant ski area, is about 25 km away and roughly a 35-40 minute drive. L'Aquila is the nearest larger provincial city, while Avezzano itself is the main service centre for Marsica with rail links, hospitals and shops. The wider Marsica area is known for produce from the Fucino plain, especially potatoes and vegetables.
