Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
The €50,000 asking price looks low at €333/m², but the rural building’s condition and legal habitability are not stated; allowing roughly €700/m² for renovation puts the effective cost near €1,033/m², well above the local €416/m² benchmark. Its inland, remote setting further limits the upside.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuine, furnished rural home with a working kitchen, two bathrooms, bedrooms, tiled living areas, and a fireplace, rather than an empty shell. Its strongest appeal is the rustic stone entrance, traditional details, and surrounding grassy land, though the property is visually plain outside and needs cosmetic and practical 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€30,000 – €53,000
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 main house appears usable and furnished, but the exterior shows weathering, unfinished surfaces, and general maintenance needs.
- The basement/storage areas look damp and utilitarian, with exposed services and rough floors.
- Utilities, heating efficiency, structural condition, and access 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 67/100Morcone sits in the Sannio Apennines, with wooded ridges and mountain relief around the upper Tammaro valley. The area is close to the Matese massif, and the road toward Campitello Matese reaches the nearest ski lifts in roughly an hour. Benevento is the nearest city of size, with rail links, services, and major Roman monuments. This part of the province is known for upland pasture, woods, and small historic hill settlements of the old Sannio.
