See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000 (€698/m²), the home is already above the local €491/m² benchmark; assuming a country house needing substantial renovation brings the effective cost to about €1,398/m². The listing confirms a legal residential property with road access, garden and parking, but does not say its condition, construction year or energy performance; the coast is approximately 6 km away.
More on the house and the area
A characterful old Marche country house with traditional brick-and-stone details, mature trees, olive trees, and beautiful rolling-hills views. The land and setting are genuinely appealing, but the property looks long-neglected and may need significant renovation before it becomes a comfortable full-time 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€17,000 – €30,000
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.
- The house appears neglected, with overgrown grounds and visibly weathered masonry.
- No interior photos are provided, so the condition of floors, bathroom, kitchen, utilities, and roof cannot be verified.
- The attached brick outbuilding appears particularly deteriorated and may require substantial rebuilding.
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 49/100The area sits in the lower Tronto valley between the Adriatic coastal plain and the first hills of southern Marche, with the Sibillini and Gran Sasso massifs visible farther inland on clear days but outside the immediate landscape. The Tronto river runs nearby. San Benedetto del Tronto is the nearest larger town, with a seafront, port, rail station and the main services of this stretch of coast; Ascoli Piceno is the main historic city inland, with a substantial old centre and services. Within about 15 km the setting is mainly cultivated hills, river plain, scattered villages and the urbanised corridor toward the coast. The wider area is known for vineyards, olive groves and the connection between the Adriatic coast and the Tronto route into the interior.
