Price €80k but described as "da ristrutturare completamente" so estimate ~€1,100/m² → renovation ≈€510k; effective cost ≈€590k or ~€1,272/m² vs local median €377/m², so very expensive once restored.
More on the house and the area
A large, characterful stone townhouse with original roof timbers, an intact shell and a generous 1,300 m² plot with a sizable barn — great potential for a spacious family home. However the interior is a basic, to‑be‑completed shell (no bathrooms/kitchen), so expect a full renovation and significant building works before it’s livable.
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€184,000 – €271,000
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.
- Complete renovation required — interiors are shell-like with no bathrooms or finished living spaces
- Outbuilding (former stable/fienile) is partly unfinished and needs structural work
- Street-front location, so garden/privacy limited to the rear
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 41/100The area is the Friulian plain between the Meduna and Tagliamento river systems, with flat farmland, drainage canals and scattered villages. The Tagliamento is the main named natural feature in this part of the province, a wide braided river corridor east of Zoppola. Pordenone is the nearest town of size, with full services, rail connections and a substantial historic centre. This part of Friuli is known for mixed agriculture and for wine areas farther south and east, but around Zoppola the immediate landscape is mainly cultivated plain.
