Rustico/casale in Strada di Cigliano Basso
A pochi passi da Narni Scalo, in una posizione dominante, assolata e straordinariamente panoramica, sorge questo caratteristico casale in pietra di ampia metratura. Immerso in un terreno privato di ben 12.000 mq e arricchito da annessi di proprietà, l'immobile offre il perfetto connubio tra la privacy della campagna e la comodità di una zona già urbanizzata.

What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €68,000 (€252/m²), the 270 m² farmhouse is 39% below the €412/m² Umbria baseline, but the “blank canvas” description suggests substantial renovation: estimated effective cost is about €952/m² after €700/m² works. The 12,000 m² private land and panoramic location add value, while condition and technical details are missing.
More on the house and the area
A highly atmospheric stone Umbrian farmhouse with historic masonry, a chimney, private land, and glimpses of a panoramic countryside setting. However, the photos show an overgrown property with rough or deteriorated ancillary structures and no evidence of finished interiors, making it a major renovation project rather than a realistically livable home today.
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€53,000 – €95,000
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.
- Appears to require substantial renovation, with overgrown grounds and deteriorated outbuildings.
- No interior photos are provided, so livability, utilities, floors, kitchen, and bathroom cannot be verified.
- Roof and structural condition should be professionally inspected before considering it a home rather than a full restoration project.
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 62/100The cluster is in the Amerini hills, a belt of cultivated ridges and small valleys between the Tiber basin and the Umbrian interior. The Nera river runs east of Amelia, and the Tiber valley is nearby to the west. The Monti Martani rise to the north-east within this radius. Narni is the nearest larger historic town, with a substantial old centre and the Rocca Albornoz fortress. Terni is the nearest city of size, with full services and rail connections. Amelia itself is known for its polygonal pre-Roman walls and historic hill town core.
