Rustico/casale
Immersa nel silenzio più autentico, questa casa in pietra a Vito d’Asio è una rarità circondata da un parco di 15.000 mq, piantumato con alberi ad alto fusto, che avvolgono l’abitazione in un’atmosfera fiabesca. La privacy è assoluta e, nonostante il contesto naturale, il centro del paese è raggiungibile in soli cinque…

At €50,000 for 147 m², the purchase price is only €340/m², but the house is currently an unfinished shell with electricity not yet connected; allowing about €1,100/m² for completion brings the effective cost near €1,440/m². The 15,000 m² park and additional 20,000 m² of land add appeal, but this is a remote mountain location and the listing does not specify the final renovation scope or permits.
More on the house and the area
A highly atmospheric stone farmhouse with a tiled roof, traditional character, and an exceptional 15,000 m² wooded park, plus additional land rising toward Monte Pala. However, the house is currently unfinished and has no demonstrated interior livability, so it is a substantial renovation project rather than an immediately usable dream 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€58,000 – €86,000
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 is explicitly sold al grezzo, so it is an unfinished shell rather than a move-in-ready home.
- No interior photos are provided; flooring, kitchen, bathroom, heating, and utilities are not confirmed.
- Electricity is only described as connectable nearby, and the additional hillside land may be difficult to use.
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 68/100The cluster is in the Friulian pre-Alps, in the valley system of the Arzino torrent, with steep wooded slopes and small hamlets set on the mountainsides. The Tagliamento river is nearby to the west, and the area lies close to the transition from the pre-Alpine valleys to the higher Carnic and Friulian mountain country. The nearest ski lifts are the small Forni di Sopra area, roughly an hour away by mountain roads, and Piancavallo farther south at about a similar drive, so skiing is not part of the immediate landscape. Spilimbergo is the nearest substantial town, with services and a known historic centre; Maniago is also within normal reach and is known for knife-making. This part of Friuli is known for pre-Alpine valleys, mixed forest, stone villages and outdoor activities on the Tagliamento and its tributaries.
