The €35,000 asking price is attractive, but incomplete utilities—electricity requires reactivation and water still needs connection—suggest substantial work. Including an estimated €700/m² renovation, the effective cost is about €1,132/m² versus a local benchmark of €409/m²; the 2,000 m² plot and 50 productive olive trees add value, but the listing does not state the home's condition or energy performance.
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable small country house with a fitted kitchen, bathroom, covered outdoor areas and an expansive Sicilian countryside setting. The 2,000 sqm olive grove, fruit trees, views and €35,000 price create real lifestyle appeal, but the property is basic and the unfinished utilities and overgrown exterior keep it well below dream-home territory.
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€16,000 – €28,000
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.
- Electricity appears to require meter reactivation, and water is currently supplied by a well/tank rather than a normal connection.
- The exterior, paving and surrounding grounds need substantial clearing and cosmetic improvement.
- The house itself looks usable, but the listing provides limited evidence about heating, insulation and overall systems condition.
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.
