At €18k plus an estimated €400/m² renovation (seller quotes €100k for foundations) the effective price is about €135.6k or €461/m², well above the regional baseline of €303/m²; significant foundation work and a size discrepancy in the text (250 vs 294 m²) reduce the appeal.
More on the house and the area
Lovely, characterful farmhouse with exposed beams, fireplace and sweeping panoramic views over the Marche hills — a very photogenic spot with private garden. The upper-level interiors look liveable, but the advertised need for important foundation works means this is a renovation project rather than a turnkey home.
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.
Our read of the photos, €400/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€34,000 – €57,000
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.

The area around
Location score 61/100The area sits on the inland Marche hills with long views across the middle Esino valley and toward the Apennine ridge to the west. Cingoli itself is a substantial historic hill town with walls, churches and a built old centre, and it is known as the "Balcone delle Marche" for its elevated position. Lake Cingoli, the artificial reservoir of Castreccioni, lies just below the town and is the main local water feature. The nearest larger town is Jesi, which provides a full range of services and rail connections. This part of inland Marche is known for mixed farming, olive groves and rolling hill landscapes rather than for a single protected landmark within the immediate area.
