See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €80,000 (€269/m²), the farmhouse is close to the local asking benchmark, but renovating 297 m² at an estimated €700/m² brings the effective cost to roughly €969/m². Its generous size, outbuildings and potential for multiple units are positives, but the renovation burden is too high for this price.
More on the house and the area
A generous old Friulian farmhouse with a photogenic courtyard, mature trees, wooden shutters, traditional proportions and a useful terrace, garage and outbuildings. The main house is solid, roofed and clearly lived-in rather than a ruin, with functioning kitchen, heating and finished floors, but the interiors are dated and the property needs meaningful renovation to become a beautiful 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.
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€59,000 – €104,000
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.
- Substantial renovation and modernization are needed, especially in the kitchen, bathroom and finishes.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a large four-bedroom house.
- Visible wall and ceiling cracks, dated installations and a somewhat utilitarian shared courtyard warrant 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 39/100This is the central Friulian plain, a flat agricultural area between Udine and Codroipo. The Stella river rises not far to the south-west around the Rivignano area, and the Tagliamento runs farther west outside the immediate surroundings. Udine is the nearest city of size, with full services, a historic centre and rail links. The area is known for arable farming and vineyards in the wider Friuli plain.
