What it really costs

Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €80,000 (€267/m²), this 300 m² farmhouse is explicitly completely to renovate; at roughly €1,100/m², the total project cost approaches €410,000, far above comparable Marche properties around €304/m² before renovation. The 3.5 hectares, well and agricultural potential add value, but this is primarily a very substantial restoration project.
More on the house and the area
This is a highly atmospheric Marche farmhouse with weathered stonework, traditional rooflines and extensive mature grounds, including olive trees, woodland and open agricultural land. However, the building is a major renovation project rather than a move-in home, with visibly deteriorated façades and no convincing evidence of usable interiors. At €80,000, the land and historic rural setting create real potential, but the livability gap sharply limits the score.
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€119,000 – €176,000
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 300 sqm farmhouse is explicitly completely to renovate and appears uninhabitable as shown.
- Roof, floors, utilities, kitchen and bathroom functionality are not demonstrated.
- The large 3.5-hectare property will require substantial maintenance and agricultural work.
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 68/100This is hill country on the eastern side of the Apennine foothills, with the Esino valley nearby. The Parco naturale regionale della Gola della Rossa e di Frasassi lies partly within this radius, with the limestone gorge landscape around Serra San Quirico and Genga. The nearest town of size is Jesi, which has a substantial historic centre and services. Cupramontana is known in the Marche for Verdicchio wine, with vineyards and mixed farmland across the surrounding hills.
