What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitable- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The description explicitly says 'ASTA IMMOBILIARE', so this is a judicial auction, which is a veto red flag for this catalog regardless of the low €46,126 asking price (€301/m² vs €573/m² baseline). It is also described as a 'fabbricato rurale', adding uncertainty on residential usability, so despite the apparent discount this is a trap for standard foreign-buyer deal screening.
More on the house and the area
There is some rustic appeal in the stone facade, arched openings and old vaulted service space. But the interiors shown are sparse, grimy and barely usable, with no clear bathroom and only a very basic room that does not feel move-in ready. At this price and size it has bargain appeal, yet it reads much more as a rescue project than a dream home.
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€10,000 – €17,000
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.
- Photos show very poor interior condition despite the 'habitable' label
- No bathroom is documented and no functional kitchen is convincingly shown
- Likely needs substantial renovation and clearing out before real use
- Direct roadside setting on Via Salaria is practical but not especially romantic
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 lies in the upper Velino valley at the foot of Monte Terminillo and the Reatini Mountains. The Velino river system and the Santa Susanna springs are in this part of the plain, and the area is closely tied to the Piana Reatina landscape. The Monti della Laga and Gran Sasso are farther east on the Abruzzo side and form part of the wider mountain horizon, but they are beyond the immediate 15 km landscape. The nearest ski lifts are on Monte Terminillo, about 30-40 minutes by road depending on the exact hamlet. Rieti is the nearest town of size and provides the main services, rail and road links, and a substantial historic centre. The area is known for mountain valleys, karst springs, and the chain of small lakes around Cittaducale and the Rieti plain, with Lago di Piediluco farther away outside the immediate radius.
