In the listingHabitableSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €85,000 (€405/m²), the house is priced close to the local €419/m² benchmark, but allowing roughly €42,000 for habitable-condition updates brings the effective cost to about €605/m². Its size, garage, cellar, heating and olive grove add value, while the remote inland location 37 km from the sea limits upside.
More on the house and the area
A substantial, habitable 210 sqm home with terraces, garden space, olive trees, and genuinely impressive mountain-and-valley views. It is not a polished or character-rich dream house—the interiors are old-fashioned—but it appears move-in ready and offers unusually generous space and land for the price.
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€14,000 – €23,000
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 fully usable but notably dated and would benefit from modernization.
- A visible long crack appears on the exterior wall; structural significance should be checked.
- The house sits on a steep, sloping access road, which may be inconvenient for some residents.
- Energy performance is unspecified.
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 sits in the upper Trigno valley near the Molise border, with the Apennines rising inland and a landscape of wooded hills, pasture and small fields. The Trigno river is the main watercourse in this part of the area. The nearest substantial mountain landscape is the southern Abruzzo Apennine belt around Monte Campo and the Capracotta plateau, roughly 15 km away. Agnone is the nearest town of note, with a preserved historic centre and the Marinelli bell foundry, which the area is known for.
