This is a judicial auction lot made up of agricultural buildings (stalla, fienile, sala latte) and land, so it cannot be converted to a dwelling; price EUR 72,135 for 1,253 m² (EUR 58/m²) does not change that legal restriction.
More on the house and the area
Beautiful, photogenic olive groves and patchwork farmland with a strong mountain backdrop — the setting is a dream for country living. The standing buildings are agricultural and, while listed as habitable, would need work/converting to become a comfortable home and require careful due diligence in the auction process.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€83,000 – €140,000
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.
- Listing photos are indicative and may not show the actual buildings
- Existing structures are agricultural (stables, sala latte) and would need conversion for residential use
- Sold at auction — check utilities, access and legal status before bidding
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 nearest substantial town is L’Aquila, which provides the main concentration of services, while Ofena and the villages of the Navelli and Tirino valleys are the immediate local centres. This part of inland Abruzzo is known for fortified hill villages, pastoral uplands, and saffron around the Navelli plain.
