See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €65,000 (€422/m²), the price looks attractive, but allowing roughly €200/m² for finishing after the structural works gives an effective cost near €622/m² versus a local reference of €481/m². The lake view is a positive, but the listing conflicts on size (154 m² versus about 194 m²) and does not clearly state the final habitable condition.
More on the house and the area
The turquoise lake and wooded hills provide an exceptional setting, while the old stone walls and new timber roof offer genuine character. However, this is currently a substantial renovation project rather than a usable home: most interiors are bare, unfinished and dusty, with only the main structure and roof appearing renewed.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€10,000 – €17,000
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.
- Interiors are largely unfinished shells with exposed masonry, rubble and no completed kitchen or bathroom visible.
- Significant finishing, plumbing, electrical and heating work may still be required despite the structural renovations.
- The additional garden/outbuilding areas appear overgrown and partly ruined.
- Verify utilities, permits, accessibility and the full scope of the claimed renovation works.
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 64/100The cluster sits in and around the hilltop town of Cingoli, a settlement at roughly 600 m above sea level. The town looks out over the Adriatic plain and, on clear days, the Adriatic Sea and the Apennine ridge including the Sibillini mountains in the distance. Within about 15 km the landscape is a mix of wooded hills, small cultivated valleys, olive groves and scattered hamlets typical of the central Marche. There is no national or regional park or large lake inside about 15 km; nearest larger towns with full services are Macerata and Jesi. The town is locally known as the “Balcone delle Marche” for its panoramic viewpoints above the plain.
