- Sold at judicial auction
See what needs doing and what each job costs
This is a judicial auction (court sale). Listed price €73,275 equals about €14/m², but estimated renovation ~€700/m² gives an effective cost ≈€714/m² versus regional median €415/m²; the ad also warns the photos are only indicative.
More on the house and the area
The photos show stylish, move-in-ready interiors, but the ad itself warns the images are indicative and the actual rural building is being sold at auction and needs renovation. The large 5,071 m² plot could be a real draw, but without verified images of the farmhouse/land this is more of a renovation project than an immediate dream home.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€1,004,000 – €1,780,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Photos in the ad are explicitly indicative/stock and may not represent the real farmhouse.
- The property is sold at auction — legal/process risks and additional costs are likely.
- Listing states the building 'needs renovation' so significant restoration and utilities work may be required.
- No genuine exterior/land photos are provided, so the rural setting and condition of outbuildings are unverified.
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 61/100This is the upper Volturno area at the foot of the Campanian Apennine foothills, with low cultivated hills and broad valley floor around the Volturno basin. The Roccamonfina volcanic massif lies within the local landscape to the west, and the Parco Regionale di Roccamonfina e Foce Garigliano begins nearby around the mountain. Teano is the nearest historic town of note, with an old centre, Roman remains and services; Capua and Caserta are farther away for a larger urban offer. The area is known for mixed farming, chestnuts and olives on the volcanic slopes, and for the position on the inland route between Campania and Lazio.
