At €75,000, estimated renovation brings the effective cost to about €112,000, or €605/m² versus a local reference of €377/m². The house is spacious and habitable with garden, terrace, heating and 29 photos, but its remote mountain location and above-market effective price limit the deal appeal.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable mountain home with a spectacular panoramic view of the Carnic Alps, village church, and surrounding forested valley. The large terrace, multiple bedrooms, working kitchen and bathroom make it livable now, while the dated furnishings and unfinished attic keep it below dream-home level.
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€12,000 – €21,000
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 fully habitable but noticeably dated and would benefit from cosmetic updating.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a large three-bedroom home.
- The attic/storage areas are unfinished and the property is spread over several levels.
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.

This part of Carnia is known for alpine pastures, forestry and dispersed stone villages in narrow mountain valleys.
