What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €19,500 (€488/m²), the asking price is already 59% above the Marche farmhouse baseline of €306/m², and the wild, highly vague description with no bedrooms or bathrooms suggests substantial restoration. Assuming about €1,100/m² renovation, effective cost reaches roughly €1,588/m², making this weak despite the low headline price.
More on the house and the area
The surrounding Marche countryside is genuinely attractive, with wooded land, open fields, and a secluded off-grid atmosphere. However, the building itself is only a basic construction shell with no visible living facilities, making this a land-and-project opportunity rather than a usable home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€16,000 – €23,000
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 appears to be an unfinished shell with raw block walls and no visible roofed, habitable interior.
- There are no bathrooms, kitchen, or bedrooms, so substantial construction and utility work will be required.
- Remote access and the explicitly wild setting may make year-round living difficult.
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.
