This is a judicial auction and the complex is in ruin with partial roof/solai collapses and no systems; I estimate renovation at €1,100/m² (~€698,500). With the €40,990 ask the effective price is about €1,163/m² (≈€739,490 total) versus a regional baseline of €500/m², so this is a high-risk auction purchase and the the listing field claiming "Renovated" contradicts the description.
More on the house and the area
Beautiful Lorense farmhouse with strong historic character (brick façade, arches, colombaia and farm outbuildings) set in open Valdichiana countryside — great for a restoration-minded owner. However the building shows partial collapses, holes in roofs/floors and no services, so this is a major renovation project rather than a move-in home.
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€251,000 – €372,000
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.
- Significant structural damage: partial roof and floor collapses visible
- Property sold 'da ristrutturare' with no utilities or working systems
- Declared of historical interest → strict restoration rules and possible prelazione
- Extensive, costly renovation required to make habitable
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 85/100Montepulciano sits on the ridge landscape of the Val di Chiana and close to the Val d’Orcia, with cultivated hills, cypress lines and scattered farmhouses within the surrounding countryside. The Val d’Orcia UNESCO World Heritage landscape begins just to the west around Pienza and San Quirico d’Orcia. Lake Montepulciano lies just east of town, with reed beds and the Riserva Naturale Lago di Montepulciano. The nearest larger centres are Chiusi and Chianciano Terme, while Siena is the main city in the wider area. Montepulciano itself is a substantial historic hill town with Renaissance palaces and is known for Vino Nobile di Montepulciano. Pienza, within the same local hill country, is UNESCO-listed for its historic centre.
