See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €60,000, the property appears to require complete renovation plus partial demolition; estimated all-in cost is about €1,390/m² versus €340/m² for comparable homes. The 4 km proximity to the sea is a positive, but the scale of works makes this a weak deal.
More on the house and the area
This large former farmhouse has attractive Abruzzo countryside, extensive olive-growing land, and glimpses toward the Adriatic, plus some character from its old masonry and terracotta roofs. However, it is a major redevelopment project rather than a realistically livable home today: the listing says it is completely to renovate and part of the structure will be demolished.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,200/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€125,000 – €184,000
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 property is explicitly sold as completely to renovate, with part of the building intended for demolition.
- Roofing and the unfinished annex appear to require substantial structural and construction work.
- No interior photos are provided, so current habitability, utilities, kitchen, and bathroom condition cannot be verified.
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 51/100The Adriatic coast is within about 5 km, with the seafront of San Salvo Marina and the broad beaches that continue toward Vasto and Montenero di Bisaccia. The lower Trigno valley is part of the local landscape near the Molise border. The nearest larger town is Vasto, which has services, a historic centre and a port area. This stretch of coast is known for beach tourism, seafront resort development and intensive cultivation on the flat ground behind the shore.
