See what needs doing and what each job costs
Estimated renovation ~€700/m² (da ristrutturare) yields ≈€168,000 in works, so effective price ≈€266,000 (≈€1,108/m²) versus the regional baseline of €303/m². The large 83,000 m² of land and an agricultural annexe lift intrinsic value but the high effective cost and difficult access keep this a fair, not bargain, opportunity.
More on the house and the area
A very photogenic Marche casale perched alone in rolling farmland with a dramatic ravine and distant sea views. The stone farmhouse has clear historic character but is overgrown and requires significant renovation, so it's a project rather than move-in ready. The huge 8.3 ha plot gives privacy and strong rural appeal for someone willing to restore it.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€48,000 – €84,000
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 63/100This is a belt of Adriatic hill country between the lower Aso and Tenna valleys, with cultivated slopes, olive groves and long views toward the Sibillini range inland. The Adriatic coast is nearby, with the beaches and seafront of Pedaso and Marina di Altidona the closest stretch. The nearest mountains are the Monti Sibillini, visible inland but outside the immediate 15 km landscape. Fermo is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre, cathedral, theatre and everyday services. Moresco, within this area, is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia. The area is known for mixed farming, olives and vineyards, and for a chain of hill towns set a short distance back from the coast.
