What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €70,000 for 240 sqm, the ask is €292/sqm, but with light habitable-refresh works suggested by the description (solid stone walls, wooden floors and roof in perfect condition), the effective cost is about €542/sqm. The local baseline is weak, so this score relies more on absolute plausibility than comparison; for a large friulian stone house with roof/structure already in order, this looks like a solid rather than exceptional deal.
More on the house and the area
This has authentic Friulian farmhouse character, with stone rear elevations, a large courtyard and solid traditional structure. The main living spaces appear usable now with a functioning kitchen and finished rooms, but the house is plain and would need updating, while the ancillary buildings are much more project-like. Great size for the price, though more practical than swoon-worthy.
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€20,000 – €34,000
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.
- Exterior facade is tired and needs cosmetic work
- Rear outbuildings/courtyard are rough and partly unfinished
- Interiors look basic and dated rather than turnkey
- No proven views or standout location from the photos
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.
