At €79,000 plus an estimated €700/m² renovation, the effective cost is about €1,578/m², versus a Friuli Venezia Giulia farmhouse baseline of €257/m². The shared entrance, renovation requirement, and missing room/bath details further weaken the offer.
More on the house and the area
A highly photogenic old Friulian farmhouse with charming shutters, deep wooden canopy, traditional plasterwork, and a leafy private garden. The roofed structure appears substantial rather than ruined, but the listing explicitly calls it a renovation project and provides no proof of a currently usable interior or bathroom, so it is a beautiful restoration opportunity rather than a ready 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€18,000 – €32,000
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 shared entrance may reduce privacy and practical appeal.
- Visible exterior wear and an aging outbuilding suggest meaningful renovation rather than a simple cosmetic refresh.
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 52/100The area lies on the upper Friulian plain, with the Friulian Prealps visible to the north and the lower course of the Noncello running through Pordenone. The Livenza is nearby to the west, and the landscape around the town is mostly flat farmland, waterways and built-up fringe. Pordenone is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre, services, rail connections and regional cultural venues. The Dolomites and Piancavallo ski lifts are farther north and matter for logistics rather than for the immediate setting. The area is known more for its position between the plain and the foothills than for a distinct named landscape within 15 km.
