Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €1,357/m² before works, this farmhouse is already more than three times the local €416/m² benchmark. The listing does not state its condition or habitability; allowing roughly €700/m² for renovation would bring the effective cost near €2,057/m², although the 8,500 m² of surrounding land adds some value.
More on the house and the area
A simple independent farmhouse in an exceptionally attractive setting, with sweeping Matese mountain views, a beautifully maintained lawn, mature trees, and substantial olive-growing land. The roofed 70 sqm layout includes living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bathroom, so it appears to be a real usable home rather than a shell, though the unseen interior may need updating.
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€14,000 – €25,000
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.
- Interior condition and finishes are not shown, so actual move-in readiness is unclear.
- The property appears basic rather than renovated, and utilities, heating, and access should be verified.
- The large 8,500 sqm plot will require ongoing maintenance.
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 66/100The Matese mountains rise immediately north of Alife, with the Monte Miletto massif and the upper Volturno basin shaping the landscape within this area. The Volturno river runs through the Alife plain. The Matese Regional Park covers the mountain area nearby. The nearest ski lifts are on the Campitello Matese side of the massif, roughly an hour or a little more by road depending on conditions. The nearest town of size is Piedimonte Matese, which has secondary schools, shops, a hospital and rail connections; Caserta is farther away and serves for higher-order services. Alife itself is known for its Roman grid and surviving Roman walls.
