What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €69,000 for 110 sqm, the asking price is €627/sqm, but the description says 'completamente da ristrutturare', so I estimate about €1,100/sqm renovation, bringing the effective cost to roughly €1,727/sqm. That is far above the local baseline of €557/sqm for similar sub-€100k stock, so despite the independent house and 400 sqm private court, this looks only fair at this price.
More on the house and the area
The old brick farmhouse has some genuine rustic character, especially the arched entrance, big fireplace and olive-filled garden. But the listing explicitly says it is completely to be renovated, and the photos show a tired, damp, very basic interior rather than a usable home. The outside space is a plus, yet this is more restoration project than dream-ready country house.
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€44,000 – €64,000
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.
- Completely to be renovated; not move-in ready
- Visible damp, worn finishes and very dated interiors
- Outbuildings/secondary structures look rough and may need major work
- Village roadside setting, with limited privacy
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 68/100The area sits in the Sabina hills, with olive-covered slopes and low ridges above the Tiber valley. The Tiber runs to the west within this radius. Monte Soratte stands nearby as an isolated limestone ridge above the plain. The Riserva Naturale Nazzano Tevere-Farfa lies in the Tiber valley, and the lower Farfa valley is part of the local landscape. Farfa Abbey is in the area near Fara in Sabina. The nearest larger centre is Rieti for provincial services, while the Rome urban area is the main external pull for work and transport. The area is known for Sabina olive oil.
