This is explicitly an auction listing ("ASTA IMMOBILIARE"), which is a veto red flag for this catalog and forces a trap rating. Even though the ask is low at €341/m² versus a €580/m² baseline, auction risk overrides the price signal.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, real habitable villa rather than a shell, with an attractive arched stone base, terrace/portico and characterful old-fashioned interiors including a big fireplace, wood ceilings and traditional finishes. It feels lived-in and usable, but the house looks very dated and somewhat dim, so expect modernization rather than a turnkey dream home. At this price for 210 sqm, the bargain appeal is strong even if the setting itself is not proven as spectacular.
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€14,000 – €23,000
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 are low-quality and overexposed, so true condition is hard to judge.
- Interiors look dated and cluttered, likely needing cosmetic updating.
- Auction sale: legal/occupancy details should be checked carefully.
- Driveway access ramp is noted as needing redefinition.
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 62/100The cluster is in the Sabina hills, with the Monti Sabini close by and the lower Tiber valley within the wider surrounding area. The Farfa river runs through this part of Sabina, and the Abbazia di Farfa is a few kilometres from Poggio Nativo. The nearest larger town is Rieti, which provides the main range of services for the province; Rome is farther away but relevant for commuting and rail connections from the Sabina area. This area is known for olive groves and Sabina olive oil.
