This is an auction lot (Tribunale Campobasso RGE 31/2025), occupied and includes unauthorized deposit buildings and large agricultural land, creating legal/usage risk. With a conservative renovation estimate of €1,100/m² the effective price is ~€1,691/m² versus the regional baseline €394/m², so the property is unlikely to be a good buy for typical buyers.
More on the house and the area
Bright, recently refurbished-looking interiors and a neat modern bathroom make this a very liveable 110 sqm single-level home. The huge private courtyard and productive olive grove (over 4,600 sqm) add rare outdoor value, but expect administrative/legal work on the unauthorized deposits and limited access while occupied.
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€44,000 – €65,000
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.
- Property is listed as occupied — access/eviction may be required.
- Two small outbuildings were built without title (possible legal/regularisation cost).
- Part of the lot/unit described as 'in corso di costruzione' and category F/3 — check habitability/catastale status.
- Utilities, energy class and exact condition of systems not documented — budget for checks/updates.
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 in the Molise interior among cultivated hills and low Apennine ridges. The Biferno valley is nearby, and the Matese mountains rise to the south-west within this part of the province. Campobasso is the nearest town of size and has the provincial services, shops, rail connections and the Castello Monforte on its hill. This part of Molise is known for mixed farming, small hill villages and inland views toward the central-southern Apennines.
