This is a judicial auction and the report describes the roof partly collapsed and the building invaded by vegetation, despite the listing claiming "Renovated". At €3,240 (€46/m²) plus an estimated €1,100/m² restoration (~€80,240 total, ≈€1,146/m² effective) it’s a high-risk, non-move-in auction lot.
More on the house and the area
Beautiful stone farmhouse with classic Umbrian charm, olive/vineyard land and a lovely hilltop-town view, but the building is in very poor condition with partial roof collapse and no services. This is a serious restoration project bought at auction — amazing price but not move-in ready.
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€28,000 – €41,000
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.
- General condition very poor: roof/ceiling partly collapsed and building invaded by vegetation
- No detectable electric/water/sewer/heating systems — full utilities installation required
- Limited parking/access at roadside; substantial renovation (structural + services) 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 61/100The cluster is in the wooded hills of northern Umbria near the upper Chiani valley and close to the border with Lazio and Tuscany. The Monte Peglia and Selva di Meana area lies within reach to the east, a regional protected area known for forested ridges and small hill villages. Orvieto is the nearest town of size, with a full service centre and a well-preserved historic town on a volcanic tuff plateau. This part of Umbria is known for mixed farmland, oak woodland, olive groves and small hill settlements, with caves and brickmaking traditions around Ficulle itself.
