As priced (€45,000 for 85 m² = €529/m²) this is above the regional baseline (€310/m²); estimated renovation ~€700/m² (≈€59,500) yields an effective cost ≈€1,230/m². The listing calls it a "fabbricato rurale" and the text says ~70 m² while facts show 85 m², which raises questions about condition and usable area.
More on the house and the area
Solid, roofed farmhouse with a large private olive plot (≈1.2 ha) and wide, classic Molise hill views — very liveable as-is with a functional kitchen area and fireplace. The house is dated and needs cosmetic modernisation and likely some electrical/plumbing work, but its setting and land make it a real, affordable country 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€17,000 – €30,000
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.
- Cosmetic updating needed (dated kitchen, finishes and ceiling fixtures).
- Small/basic bathroom; likely needs modern plumbing/heating upgrades.
- Rural siting ~2 km from town — quiet but requires a car.
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 59/100The area sits on low inland hills above the lower Biferno basin, with the Adriatic coast around Termoli reachable in about 15 km. The Biferno river plain shapes the landscape below the town. Larino itself has a substantial historic centre and a Roman amphitheatre, and it is known in Molise for its cathedral and for olive-growing countryside. Termoli is the nearest larger coastal town, with a port, rail station and services.
