At €90,000 (€300/m²), this farmhouse needs complete restoration; estimated all-in cost is about €420,000, or €1,400/m², versus roughly €295/m² for comparable local homes. The 4.1 hectares, panoramic setting, and proximity to the sea add appeal, but do not offset the very high renovation burden.
More on the house and the area
A beautiful rural Marche setting with rolling hills, open fields, woodland and a characterful traditional farmhouse with an external staircase. However, the building is an empty, heavily deteriorated shell requiring a complete renovation, so it is a compelling land-and-project opportunity rather than a usable 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€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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

The area around
Location score 61/100The cluster is on the low hills above the Adriatic coast, with the Tronto valley to the south and the first ridges of the southern Marche countryside inland. The Adriatic coast is nearby, with the beaches and seafront of San Benedetto del Tronto within the local area. The nearest substantial town is San Benedetto del Tronto, which has a port, rail station, full services and a long built-up coastal strip. Acquaviva Picena is known for its fortress, the Rocca di Acquaviva Picena, which is the main historic landmark of this part of the hinterland. This stretch of southern Marche is known for mixed hill farming and vineyards between the coast and the Sibillini-facing interior.
