49,000 EUR for 180 m² but the listing calls the building a "fabbricato diruto"; I estimate full restoration at €1,100/m² (≈€198k), so effective cost ≈€247k or ≈€1,372/m² vs local median €409/m², making this expensive despite the large 18,590 m² plot.
More on the house and the area
Lovely stone farmhouse with vaulted arches and excellent valley/mountain views set on almost 1.9 hectares of land. The building is a largely derelict shell overgrown with vegetation — a very photogenic project but not move-in ready and needing substantial structural and utility work.
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€71,000 – €105,000
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 a derelict/ruin (diruto) and not habitable as-is — needs full renovation.
- Overgrown areas, interior debris and likely missing services (bathroom/kitchen/plumbing).
- Structural and roof repairs will be required; factor restoration costs and permits into budget.
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 lies in the hills on the south side of the Matese area, with the Matese mountains within about 15 km to the north. The Calore Irpino valley is the main river landscape of this part of inland Benevento. The Parco Regionale del Matese extends into the nearby mountain area. Cerreto Sannita and Telese Terme are the nearest larger centres; Telese has rail links and spa facilities, and Benevento is the nearest small city with a full range of services and monuments. Guardia Sanframondi is known locally for wine production in the Sannio area.
