What it really costs

Move in as it is
Condition not stated in the listing- Registered as agricultural or storage, not as a dwelling
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The building is cadastral class C/2 (magazzino) and therefore is not legally a dwelling; conversion would be complex and expensive. Listing price €75,000 for 65 m² plus 10,000 m² land looks attractive but legal/change-of-use issues make this a risky, non-habitable lot unless the classification is changed.
More on the house and the area
A compact, solid country house set in about 10,000 m² of olive/fruit land — pleasant outdoor setting and pergola/trees give real rural appeal. Interiors are simple but fitted (kitchen, shower) so the property is usable with light refresh; expect paperwork to convert from C/2 and to confirm utilities.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€26,000 – €38,000
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.
- Cadastral category C/2 (magazzino) — likely requires change of use to full residence
- Basic, utilitarian interiors – cosmetic updating and system checks recommended
- Access via unpaved/private driveway; utilities should be verified
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 70/100The cluster sits in the Sabina (Sabine Hills), a belt of low-to-mid altitude limestone hills north of Rome. The Tiber river valley (Valle del Tevere) lies to the west and shapes the local lowland. There is no national park within about 15 km. The nearest ski lifts are on Monte Terminillo in the Reatini mountains, roughly 40–50 km by road. The immediate area is a patchwork of small medieval hill towns and agricultural villages; nearby settlements within 15 km include Magliano Sabina and Fara in Sabina, which provide local shops and municipal services. The territory is crossed by the historic Via Salaria and has a regional railway station (Poggio Mirteto Scalo) with regional train services toward Rome. The area is part of the Sabina olive-growing district and is associated with Sabina DOP extra-virgin olive oil production. Surrounding land use is mainly olive groves, arable fields and areas of woodland on the hills.
