See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction ('in asta', minimum bid €81,844), which is an automatic veto despite the low €409/m² asking level. The house itself appears broadly habitable, but the listing also includes isolated agricultural land and ancillary rough/degraded spaces, so legal/process risk dominates.
More on the house and the area
This looks like a genuinely usable rural stone house rather than a ruin: the main dwelling is described as in good maintenance condition, with heating, bathrooms and a habitable layout. The strongest appeal is the independent country setting with almost 4.3 hectares of land and a traditional stone exterior, but the lack of actual house photos limits the proven wow. It feels charming and potentially dream-worthy, though not a confirmed scroll-stopper.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €250/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€17,000 – €28,000
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.
- No real photo gallery of the house/interiors is shown, so visual wow is only partly proven.
- The setting is isolated and access is via a private road.
- Part of the property is unfinished, and the deposit building is in very poor condition without systems.
- Auction sale: due diligence on the legal/technical file is essential.
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 area sits in the inland Marche hills on the eastern side of the Apennines, with a landscape of ridges, cultivated valleys and woodland. The Esino valley lies nearby, and the Gola della Rossa e di Frasassi Regional Natural Park is within this area. The nearest major natural landmark is the Frasassi karst system around Genga, known for its cave complex. Sassoferrato is the nearest small town of note, while Jesi is the nearest larger town with broader services and rail connections. Arcevia is known locally for its hilltop historic centre and its group of castelli hamlets in the surrounding countryside.
