Why this price is what it is

Estimated renovation ≈ €77,000 (110 m² × €700/m²) so effective price ≈ €112,000 (€35k + €77k) → ≈ €1,018/m², well above the regional median of €295/m². The casale is in a lovely panoramic hill location with 10 photos and intact traditional structure, but the required full renovation makes the all-in cost high compared with local market values.

More on the house and the area
What the photos show

A classic brick Marche casale with gorgeous, open rolling-hill views and strong historic character — very photogenic outside. The structure appears roofed and solid but is not move-in ready: significant renovation (roof, windows, interiors and utilities) is needed, making this a realistic restoration project for someone seeking an authentic country home.

Minimum to live in it350500/m²
€39,000 – €55,000

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€22,000 – €39,000

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.

Connections and paperworkabout €10,000

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.

What worries us about this house
  • Needs substantial renovation — roof tiles, windows and interior fittings will require work
  • No interior photos shown; expect full refurbishment of kitchen/bath and services
  • Rural location with dirt access road and some outdoor clutter/outbuildings to clear

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 61/100

The area sits in the inland hills of southern Marche between the lower Val d’Aso and Valtenna countryside, with a landscape of cultivated ridges, vineyards, olive groves and small historic villages. The nearest coast is the Adriatic around Pedaso and Porto San Giorgio, but it is outside the immediate 15 km landscape. The Sibillini Mountains are visible on clear days and the Monti Sibillini National Park lies farther inland, but not within the local radius. The nearest larger town is Fermo, which has the provincial services, schools, hospital and a substantial historic centre. Moresco, a small walled hill village, is nearby and is listed among I Borghi più belli d’Italia. This part of the province is known for wine, olive oil and mixed agricultural hill country.
