Condition not stated in the listing- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction, not a standard purchase, with an €80,445 minimum bid and potential legal, procedural, and financing risks. The 186 m² house is described as in fair condition but includes unfinished areas and a rough attic, so renovation costs could be substantial.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial, usable country house with multiple finished living spaces, balconies, a fireplace, garage, and generous private land. The surrounding rural setting and distant hill views add appeal, while the 62% discount is eye-catching. It is not a polished dream home: the exterior is plain, some areas remain unfinished, and the grounds need significant work.
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.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€37,000 – €65,000
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.
- Auction purchase requires legal and technical due diligence.
- The property includes unfinished areas, including a raw attic/room and a 34 sqm agricultural storage building.
- The 1,526 sqm land is overgrown and unfenced; the listing imagery may be indicative, and bathroom details should be verified.
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 63/100The area sits on the hills between the Maiella massif and the Adriatic, in a landscape of cultivated ridges, small valleys and scattered villages. The Foro and Alento river valleys are nearby, and the Adriatic coast around Francavilla al Mare and Ortona is within the local orbit. Maiella National Park begins inland, with the nearest access around Guardiagrele and the eastern foothills; the mountain is a constant presence from this part of Chieti province. The nearest larger town is Chieti, which has a substantial historic centre, services and Roman remains, and Pescara is the main city of the area for rail, airport and shopping. Bucchianico is known as the birthplace of San Camillo de Lellis.
