This is explicitly a ground-floor magazzino/storage room rather than a dwelling, with habitability dependent on a possible change of use that must be legally verified. At €55,000 plus roughly €46,200 for renovation, the effective cost is about €1,533/m², well above the local €539/m² reference.
More on the house and the area
This is a bright, roofed ground-floor shell with a tiled floor and a small private courtyard, but it has no bathroom, kitchen, or living-ready finishes. Its main appeal is the €55,000 price and conversion potential, rather than beauty or an immediately livable Italian-home atmosphere.
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€13,000 – €23,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Currently a warehouse/storage unit, not a legal residence.
- No bathroom, kitchen, or bedrooms; change of use and full fit-out are required.
- The small private courtyard is useful but the setting and exterior are ordinary, with no notable views or historic character.
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 68/100Sanluri sits in the Marmilla/Campidano transitional plain of central-southern Sardinia. Monte Arci, a volcanic massif noted for obsidian outcrops, lies within about 10–15 km to the west. The surrounding territory is predominantly agricultural: cereal fields, olive trees and pasture for sheep and livestock. The area contains nuraghi and other prehistoric archaeological traces typical of interior Sardinia. The nearest regional capital with an airport and wider services is Cagliari to the southeast (roughly 50 km). Nearby towns within short driving distance include San Gavino Monreale and Villacidro, which offer shops, train connections and basic services.
