What it really costs
- Registered as agricultural or storage, not as a dwelling
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The building is explicitly described as currently classified as 'rimessa e magazzini', so it is not presently a legal dwelling; that veto red flag outweighs the low asking price. Even ignoring the legal issue, at 120 sqm and in-course-of-construction/custom conversion, a full conversion/finish cost around €1,100/m² would add about €132,000 to the €20,000 price.
More on the house and the area
The setting is pleasant, with green Sibillini hills, open land and a genuine rural outlook. But this is not shown as a ready house: it appears to be a basic, unfinished former storage building needing full conversion and substantial work before anyone could really live there. At €20k the price is tempting, yet the wow is more in the potential and landscape than in the current home itself.
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€48,000 – €70,000
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.
- Currently classified as storage/warehouse, not a residence yet
- Photos suggest an unfinished or empty-shell interior condition
- Needs full conversion and fit-out to become a livable home
- Overhead power lines and roadside position reduce the romance
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 78/100The Sibillini Mountains rise immediately around Amandola, with Monte Amandola and the main ridge of the Monti Sibillini visible within the local landscape. The area lies on the eastern edge of Monti Sibillini National Park. Sarnano has the nearest ski lifts, about 20–30 minutes by road, and the Sassotetto area is the local winter sports base. Amandola itself is the main small service town for this side of the mountains; farther out, Fermo and Ascoli Piceno are the nearest larger historic towns. The wider area is known for mountain walking, beech woods, high meadows and the Sibillini pastoral landscape.
