Why this price is what it is

This is a tribunal auction lot described as a 'capannone ad uso agricolo' used for livestock, so it is not legally a dwelling and cannot be relied on as a home. Asking €95,746 (~€69/m2) is low but irrelevant given the auction status and non‑residential classification, so treat as a trap.

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

Lovely Molise countryside views with vineyards/olive scrub and open arable land — very photogenic and private. The actual asset is described as an agricultural shed/livestock building (no clear interior photos or bathroom), so it’s more a charming rural plot/structure that will require conversion and legal checks rather than a move-in home.

Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.

Materials only, work you may do yourself€550,000 – €812,000

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.

What worries us about this house
  • Photos in the ad are indicative and may not show the actual building.
  • Listing describes the asset as a capannone ad uso agricolo / allevamento (agricultural shed), not clearly a ready residential home.
  • No bathroom listed and residential permits/utility connections are not confirmed — likely needs conversion and legal checks.
  • Access, services and habitability certificate should be verified before purchase.

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 78/100

The Matese mountains rise immediately west of Campochiaro, with the massif dominating this part of inland Molise. Campochiaro sits at the edge of the WWF Oasi Guardiaregia-Campochiaro, a large protected area on the Matese slopes with gorges, springs and beech woods. The Matese Regional Park spans this mountain area on the Molise-Campania border. The nearest ski area is Campitello Matese, about 30-40 minutes by road, on the high plateau inside the massif. Bojano is the nearest town of some size, with services and a historic centre, at the foot of the same mountain system. The area is known for mountain pasture, springs and karst landscapes of the Matese.
