This is a judicial-auction lot (Tribunale listing) made up of stables, sheds, deposits, two ruined buildings and agricultural land rather than a single clear dwelling. Price €27,091 for 278 m2 (€97/m2) is far below the regional baseline (€417/m2) but the auction status and mixed agricultural/ruin uses create legal and habitability risks.
More on the house and the area
The photos (possibly staged) show bright, modern, move‑in‑style interiors with good finishes and a balcony with a pleasant view, making it look like a charming, affordable opportunity. However this is an auction lot made up of many different structures — including derelict buildings and agricultural land — so real condition, usable living space and legal status must be verified before assuming it’s a ready-to-live home.
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€18,000 – €31,000
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.
- Photos are indicated as generic/indicative and may not show the actual units for sale
- The auction lot includes multiple buildings: stables, deposits, an occupied dwelling and several derelict structures — condition varies by corpo
- Listing shows 0 bathrooms in the facts and is an auction sale — expect legal/administrative complexity and need for due diligence
- Actual livability and which parts are habitable is unclear from the provided materials
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 70/100Circello sits on the lower slopes of the Matese massif (Massiccio del Matese); the Matese mountains and their ridges lie within about 15 km. Parts of the Parco Regionale del Matese are reached from nearby valleys. The local landscape is a mix of forested ridges (beech and chestnut), pastureland and small cultivated plots, with the rural pattern of small villages and hamlets on hilltops and along valley roads. The local economy and land use include livestock grazing, forestry and small-scale agriculture; there are local food producers (cheeses, cured meats) in nearby towns. Nearest town of some size is Cusano Mutri (a few thousand inhabitants), which supplies shops, cafés, a weekly market and basic public services; several other small communes and village centres lie within the 15 km radius. Hiking and local rural roads provide access into the massif from the cluster.
