Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €197/m², the €24,000 asking price is 58% below comparable Marche townhouses, but the old rural structure has no stated condition and may require substantial work. Assuming roughly €700/m² in renovation, the effective cost rises to about €897/m²; its mountain setting also offers limited location premium.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, spacious home with a dramatic wooded mountain setting, broad valley views, fireplaces, a terrace and outdoor space. The interiors are dated and would benefit from modernization, but the house is floored, heated, furnished and clearly habitable rather than a renovation shell.
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€24,000 – €43,000
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 usable but very dated, with old kitchens, bathrooms, flooring and fixtures.
- Only one bathroom is shown for a 122 sqm, three-bedroom house.
- The home is attached on two sides and appears to have a rural mountain location, so access and services should be checked.
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 74/100The area sits in the Apennine foothills between the Marche interior and Umbria, with the Esino valley and wooded ridges around the town. The Parco naturale regionale della Gola della Rossa e di Frasassi lies partly within this radius, including the Frasassi gorge and cave area near Genga. Mount Valmontagnana and the first massifs of the central Apennines rise nearby. Fabriano is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre, rail links, and services. The area is known for paper-making, with Fabriano historically associated with that craft.
