Renovated 140 m² country house priced €62,000 → €443/m², well below the regional baseline of €691/m² (~36% cheaper). Photos and description confirm recent roof work, but the ad has been online 229 days (stale listing), so the score is capped.
More on the house and the area
Charming restored stone terraced house with exposed beams, original stone floors and dramatic vaulted cellar — very characterful and already set up as a livable home. Strong mountain-village setting, terrace and useful outbuildings make it a great value for the price, but expect low ceilings in places, an external service bathroom and some updating to bring everything to modern comfort.
The listing and its photos show a house you can move into. Anything you spend beyond the price is your choice, not a repair.
- One of the two bathrooms is an external/service bathroom
- Several rooms have low ceilings/beam headroom and the vaulted cellar has limited height
- Access via steep, irregular stone steps and a small courtyard — not fully level for easy parking
- House is rustic in finish despite being lived-in; some modernisation (electrics, heating, bathrooms) may be needed
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 72/100The cluster is in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, in the upper valleys around Zeri close to the Cisa mountain country. The Gordana torrent and its side valleys cut through chestnut woods and pasture, with the Apuan Alps visible farther southwest but mostly outside the immediate 15 km landscape. The area lies next to the Parco Naturale Regionale delle Alpi Apuane on its southwestern side, while the local setting itself is mainly mountain hamlets, forest and high meadows rather than a major protected landmark. The nearest substantial town is Pontremoli, which has a preserved historic centre and services, and this part of Lunigiana is known for stone villages, chestnut country and the Apennine passes between Tuscany, Liguria and Emilia.
