Large 194 m² farmhouse listed at €59,000 but in "needs renovation" condition; estimated renovation €700/m² gives an effective price ≈ €194,800 or ~€1,004/m², about 3.9× the regional median €259/m². Single‑glazed windows, no central heating and only a wood stove justify the high renovation estimate, so this is only attractive to buyers prepared for a full refurbishment.
More on the house and the area
Large, solid 1976 house with intact roof/floors, a private lawn and clear mountain views — a real, usable home rather than a ruin. Interiors are dated and there is no heating system, but at €59k for 194 m² this is a strong value if you budget for renovation and respect the neighbour's right of way.
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€38,000 – €68,000
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.

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 62/100The cluster sits in the foothills north of the Friulian plain, with the first ridges of the Carnic Prealps close by. The Meduna valley is the main landscape feature here, with wooded slopes, small fields and villages spread along the valley floor and lower hills. The area is close to the Parco Naturale delle Dolomiti Friulane, though its core landscapes are farther into the mountains and do not sit directly around the village. The nearest larger town is Spilimbergo, which has a substantial historic centre and is known for the Scuola Mosaicisti del Friuli. This part of western Friuli is known for foothill villages, mixed woodland and the transition from plain to mountain.
