This is a judicial auction and the description says the farmhouse is largely fatiscente/collabente and structurally unusable. At €25,818 (€78/m2) but requiring a full rebuild (~€1,100/m2 → effective ≈€1,180/m2), it is not a liveable purchase without major works.
More on the house and the area
A huge 8,208 m² country plot with an old, characterful farmhouse but most of the fabric is dilapidated and partly collapsed. This is a low‑price, high‑potential restoration project rather than a ready-to-live-in 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€131,000 – €193,000
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.
- Large parts of the building are described as fatiscente/collabente and structurally compromised — major structural work required.
- Significant restoration needed: parts built in straw and raw earth will require specialist rebuilding/consolidation and likely new roof/floors/services.
- Rural setting ~5–7 km from town; current use includes storage and grazing and there are no usable bathrooms/kitchen — not a move-in home.
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 on the Adriatic hill belt of southern Marche, with rolling cultivated hills dropping toward the coast and views inland to the Sibillini range in clear weather. The Chienti valley runs just to the north and the Adriatic coast is about 6 km away, with the beaches and seafront of Porto Sant’Elpidio and Civitanova Marche nearby. The nearest larger town is Fermo, which has a substantial historic centre, cathedral, theatre and services. Loreto and Recanati are within the wider surrounding area but outside the immediate landscape radius, so they matter more for outings than for the setting itself. This part of the Marche is known for agriculture, hill towns and the footwear industry around the Fermano-Maceratese area.
