This is a judicial auction (minimum bid €18,620) — auctions are a transactional veto for normal purchases. Estimated renovation €700/m² → €18,620 + €700×107 ≈ €93,520 total (≈€875/m²), well above the local median €359/m², and the description says the house is in poor condition despite the 'Renovated' tag.
More on the house and the area
Solid, multi‑level mountain house with original character (fireplace, high rooms, cellar and balconies) and real usable rooms on the ground floor. Significant renovation is required (unfinished rooms, attic in grezzo, no heating/public hookups), but the building is structurally sound and offered at a deep auction discount — a practical renovation project rather than a move‑in ready 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€21,000 – €37,000
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.
- Property is in poor overall condition and needs renovation/cosmetic works.
- Large parts (first floor and attic) are unfinished (raw brick) and some services are lacking.
- Not connected to public utility networks and there is no heating system installed.
- Remote mountain location (1,172 m) — access and distance to services should be checked.
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 68/100The cluster sits in the upper Trigno valley near the Molise border, with the Apennines rising inland and a landscape of wooded hills, pasture and small fields. The Trigno river is the main watercourse in this part of the area. The nearest substantial mountain landscape is the southern Abruzzo Apennine belt around Monte Campo and the Capracotta plateau, roughly 15 km away. Agnone is the nearest town of note, with a preserved historic centre and the Marinelli bell foundry, which the area is known for.
