At €246/m², the asking price is 46% below the Abruzzo country-house benchmark of €453/m², with 240 m², a garage, garden and panoramic setting. However, the listing does not say whether the house is habitable or needs renovation, so a provisional €500/m² renovation allowance materially reduces the discount.
More on the house and the area
A genuinely impressive Abruzzo mountain panorama is the standout feature, complemented by a generous garden, mature trees, vegetable plot, parking, and garage space. The property is a substantial, roofed country house rather than a ruin, but its plain, visibly weathered exterior and lack of interior photos suggest a renovation or modernization project before it feels like a dream home.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
Our read of the photos, €500/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€28,000 – €47,000
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.
- The interior condition and systems are not shown, so renovation needs are unclear.
- Visible exterior staining, worn paving, shutters, and fencing suggest substantial updating.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a 240 m² house.
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 73/100The cluster sits in the Monti della Laga sub-range of the central Apennines. The comune lies within the Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga National Park. The immediate landscape is steep, wooded Apennine valleys with beech and chestnut forest and small mountain streams. Monte Gorzano, the highest summit of the Monti della Laga (2,458 m), is within about 15 km. There are no significant ski lifts in the immediate 15 km; the nearest alpine ski facilities are on the Gran Sasso (Prati di Tivo), about 30–40 km by road. The nearest larger town and provincial capital is Teramo, roughly 35–45 km away, which provides hospitals, train connections and other provincial services. Land use around the village is mainly forestry, summer pastures and small-scale mountain agriculture, and the area is used for hiking and outdoor recreation.
