Price €15,000 plus estimated €56,000 renovation (700 €/m²) yields an effective €71,000 (≈€888/m²), about 46% above the regional farmhouse median of €609/m². Listing has 11 photos and renovation is possible, but no bathroom or energy-class is given, so it’s a workable project rather than a bargain.
More on the house and the area
Charming small farmhouse with original stone walls, external stone stair and exposed beams that give real historic character. The roof is mostly present and parts are used, but the interior needs substantial renovation (no bathroom shown) — a very cheap project for someone who wants to restore a rustic 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€16,000 – €28,000
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.

The area around
Location score 58/100The area sits on the western side of the Monti Lepini, with limestone hills and ridges rising immediately above the Sacco valley. The Sacco valley is the main landscape element nearby, with farmland, smaller industrial stretches and roads on the valley floor. Monti Ausoni e Lago di Fondi Regional Park lies farther south and does not fall in the immediate surroundings. The nearest larger town is Frosinone, which provides the main services, rail links and retail for the area. Anagni is also nearby and is known for its cathedral and medieval centre. The area is known for olive groves and hillside villages along the Lepini side of southern Lazio.
