For example: Via Osoppo 1, Ragogna.

Ragogna, a hill and the Tagliamento river

Two features shape Ragogna: the Monte di Ragogna, an isolated wooded hill, and the Tagliamento, the great braided river running at its foot. This is hilly Friuli, near San Daniele, a little over half an hour from Udine. The municipality is made up of several hamlets spread across hills, fields and woods.

For buyers, the choice is mostly between hamlets: some are on flat ground, others on the slopes of the hill, some closer to the river. You will find detached houses with gardens, old stone farmhouses and homes built or rebuilt after 1976. The area is quiet and green, suited to people working around San Daniele, Spilimbergo or Udine who are happy to drive. Winters are cold, in climate zone E.

Istat, the national statistics office, counts 2,831 residents (2023), down 6.4% since 2011. The average age is 49.5, slightly above the 48.5 of the province of Udine, and over-65s are 28.5%. Foreign residents are 4.4%. Declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average.

Hilly Friuli is one of the best-known seismic areas in Italy. Ragogna is in zone 2, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.247 g. After the 1976 earthquake many houses in the area were rebuilt to earthquake-resistant standards; for older homes, or ones renovated several times, ask for the paperwork and a structural opinion.

Near the river and on the slopes of the hill, the report checks the official flood and landslide maps for the address and shows the price band and cadastral data.
