250 m² house + 25,000 m² land at €80,000 (≈€320/m²) is attractive on paper but described as 'da consolidare'; estimated renovation ≈€700/m² → renovation ≈€175,000 and an effective price ≈€255,000 (≈€1,020/m²), well above the local median of €436/m². The listing gives almost no technical detail (condition, year, energy class) and only 1 photo.
More on the house and the area
The façade shows a major vertical crack and the seller notes the house must be consolidated, so this is a structural project not a ready home. The large plot mentioned could be valuable, but significant investment and investigations will be needed before it becomes a livable dream house.
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€50,000 – €88,000
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.
- Large vertical structural crack visible — needs consolidation.
- Substantial structural and renovation work likely; not move-in ready.
- Utilities, permits and condition of roof/foundations unknown.
- Advertised 25,000 m² plot not visible in photo and may bring extra costs/maintenance.
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 58/100The area sits on the lower slopes between the Maiella massif and the Adriatic side hills, with a landscape of vineyards, olive groves and cultivated ridges. The Foro river valley is nearby, and the coast around Ortona is within the wider surrounding area beyond the immediate inland hills. The Maiella National Park begins farther inland, and the mountain is a constant presence to the west, but the protected high mountain landscape is outside the immediate 15 km radius. Ortona is the nearest larger town, with a port, rail station and services. This part of Abruzzo is known for wine production, especially Montepulciano d'Abruzzo and olive oil.
