Casetta con giardino

Uno dei suoi punti di forza è l'esterno, perché oltre al giardino privato, c'è un ampio terreno di 500 mq collegato direttamente al secondo accesso sul retro dell'abitazione. Ideale…
What it really costs

In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €28,000 (€280/m²), the house appears cheap, but renovation at about €700/m² brings the effective cost to roughly €98,000, or €980/m². That is far above the local reference level of €377/m², although the independent layout, garden, garage and 500 m² of connected land add some value.
More on the house and the area
A characterful three-level townhouse with traditional shutters, tiled roof, generous balconies, mature garden areas, and a substantial 500 sqm plot. A distant mountain glimpse adds appeal, while the €28,000 price is compelling. However, this is a renovation project rather than a move-in-ready home: the structure appears roofed and usable in parts, but the finishes, grounds, and services need substantial attention.
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€20,000 – €35,000
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.

The area around
Location score 63/100The cluster lies in the eastern Friuli plain at the foot of the Colli Orientali del Friuli, with low vineyard hills immediately around Manzano. The Natisone valley is nearby to the east, and the Slovenian border hills are close. The nearest larger centre is Udine, which has a substantial historic centre, services and rail connections. Cividale del Friuli is also nearby, with a Lombard historic core on the Natisone and UNESCO status as part of the Longobards in Italy sites. This area is known for wine production, especially the Colli Orientali and Ramandolo zone farther north, and for the chair-manufacturing district around Manzano.
