At €68,000 for 200 m², the asking price looks low, but the property is described as a rustic shell and the listing does not say whether it is habitable or legally residential. Allowing roughly €1,100/m² for restoration puts the estimated all-in cost near €288,000, or €1,440/m²; comparable evidence is limited.
More on the house and the area
A characterful old Friulian farmhouse with a terracotta roof, traditional shutters, mature trees, and a surprisingly large private garden. It appears roofed and structurally complete rather than a ruin, with a documented two-level layout, but the worn exterior and lack of interior photos suggest a real renovation project before it becomes a comfortable 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€79,000 – €117,000
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 farmhouse looks dated and in need of substantial cosmetic and possibly technical renovation.
- No interior photos are provided, so the actual condition of the kitchen, bathroom, floors, utilities, and upper rooms is unclear.
- The large rear area is described as potentially buildable, so planning and legal status should be verified.
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 67/100The area is on the eastern Friulian plain close to the lower Isonzo valley and the Laguna di Grado lies within about 15 km to the south. Grado is the nearest town of note in daily life at this radius, with the lagoon, the old centre and the island coast. Aquileia is also within this range and has the UNESCO archaeological area and basilica. The wider surroundings are known for flat reclaimed farmland, vineyards of the Friuli Isonzo zone, and for the historic corridor between the Isonzo and the Adriatic.
