This is a judicial auction for a farmhouse damaged by the 2002 seismic events with an ordinance of temporary uninhabibility; estimated structural renovation ~€1,100/m² → renovation ≈ €358,600 and effective price ≈ €372,832 (~€1,143/m²) versus regional baseline €291/m², so it is not a bargain.
More on the house and the area
Photos show some clean, recently‑finished bathrooms and tidy rooms, but the property is a large farmhouse reported as seismic‑damaged and temporarily uninhabitable. This is a high‑potential bargain for a buyer ready for major structural and legal renovation rather than a ready-to-live dream home.
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€129,000 – €191,000
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.

- Listing describes a casale damaged by the 2002 seismic events with an ordinance of temporary inagibilità (not move‑in ready).
- Structural lesions, non‑compliant electrical system and parts of the complex excluded from the sale / accessed through third‑party land.
- Photos appear inconsistent with the legal description (some rooms/bathrooms look newly finished while the dossier states poor maintenance), so condition may vary across units.
- Significant renovation and permit work very likely required (possible seismic strengthening / restoration).
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 57/100Larino stands on hills above the lower Biferno valley, with the Adriatic coast around Termoli and Campomarino about 15 km away at the edge of this radius. The Biferno river plain shapes the immediate surroundings, with farmland and rolling inland ridges rather than a mountain setting. Larino itself has a substantial historic centre and a Roman amphitheatre. Termoli is the nearest larger town of note, with rail links, ferry connections and a walled old town on the coast. This part of Molise is known for mixed agriculture, olive groves and grain fields.
