In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €37,000 (€462/m²), this habitable 80 m² home is already above the local €377/m² reference; allowing roughly €200/m² for updates puts the effective cost near €663/m². Its fireplace, independent heating and peaceful mountain setting add appeal, but the price is not a clear bargain.
More on the house and the area
A genuine, habitable mountain home with a leafy garden setting, working kitchen, heating, two bedrooms, and attractive wooden floors. It is more practical and peaceful than spectacular, with no dramatic view or standout historic character, but €37,000 makes the livable condition feel like a strong bargain.
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€5,000 – €9,000
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.
- Interiors are clean and usable but dated, with basic finishes and furnishings.
- The property is in a quiet mountain hamlet, so access and local services may be limited.
- Energy class F suggests potentially higher heating costs.
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 cluster is in the Carnic Alps. The But valley runs through Arta Terme, and the slopes rise quickly on both sides toward the Monte Zoncolan group and the main Carnic chain. The area is part of the mountain landscape of the Friulian Alps, with alpine pastures, forest and narrow valley settlements. The nearest ski lifts are on Monte Zoncolan above Ravascletto and Sutrio, about 20–30 minutes by road depending on the access point. Tolmezzo is the nearest town of size, with the main shops and services of Carnia. Sutrio is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia. The area is known for mountain tourism, thermal waters at Arta Terme, and the Zoncolan climbs used in the Giro d'Italia.
