This is a judicial-auction property, so it falls outside the catalog’s safe-buy criteria regardless of its €232/m² asking level. The €42,260 offer minimum also excludes renovation and auction-related costs.
More on the house and the area
A cheerful, characterful single-storey villa with a handsome tiled roof, attractive fireplace-and-beam interior, extensive land, and a genuinely impressive mountain backdrop. The house appears solid and substantially finished rather than a shell, but it needs renovation and major exterior cleanup, while the bathroom situation is unclear. At the €42k starting level, the scale, setting, and 73% claimed discount create strong dream-home appeal if the auction risks check out.
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€36,000 – €64,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- The garden and surrounding grounds are heavily overgrown and need substantial clearing and landscaping.
- The listing says the property needs renovation/completion; no bathroom is shown in the gallery and the facts list 0 bathrooms, so livability must be verified.
- The rural setting includes mixed productive/residential surroundings, and this is an auction purchase requiring legal and technical checks.
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 55/100Avezzano sits on the Fucino plain beneath the Abruzzo Apennines, with Monte Velino and the Velino-Sirente chain close by. The former Lake Fucino basin shapes the area: it is now a broad reclaimed agricultural plain ringed by mountains. The Sirente-Velino Regional Park begins nearby in the surrounding massif. Ovindoli-Monte Magnola, the nearest significant ski area, is about 25 km away and roughly a 35-40 minute drive. L'Aquila is the nearest larger provincial city, while Avezzano itself is the main service centre for Marsica with rail links, hospitals and shops. The wider Marsica area is known for produce from the Fucino plain, especially potatoes and vegetables.
