Asking €298,000 plus an estimated €700/m² renovation (400 m² → €280,000) gives an effective price of about €1,445/m², well above the local median of €614/m². The listing text mentions Arezzo/Pergine Valdarno while the town is Cittaducale, and condition/energy class are not stated, reducing confidence.
More on the house and the area
Lovely, fully‑minded stone farmhouse with original beams, big fireplace and terracotta floors — the main house looks liveable now with strong character and views. It includes garden/olive groves, but an adjoining stone building is unfinished and will need substantial work.
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€79,000 – €140,000
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.
- Secondary adjacent building is 'al grezzo' (raw) and requires full renovation
- Only two bathrooms for a very large (many‑bed) layout — likely needs upgrading for modern family use
- Check utilities/insulation/heating and septic connections before purchase
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 61/100The cluster sits in the upper Velino valley with the Monte Terminillo group close to the west and the wider Apennine relief around the basin. The Velino river runs through this part of the province. Part of the area falls within the Monte Terminillo regional landscape protection system, and the Monti della Laga and Gran Sasso are farther east beyond the 15 km landscape radius. The nearest ski lifts are on Monte Terminillo above Leonessa, roughly 25–35 km away depending on the access road. Rieti is the nearest town of size, with services, a historic centre and a railway connection toward Terni. Cittaducale itself is known as a planned small town of Angevin foundation with a regular historic layout.
