Although the purchase price is only €280/m², the property is explicitly described as a ruin, implying roughly €110,000 in restoration costs and an effective cost near €1,380/m²—far above the local €457/m² benchmark. Its isolated woodland setting and agricultural-use emphasis add uncertainty for a buyer seeking a straightforward home.
More on the house and the area
The handmade stone farmhouse has authentic Ligurian character and a strikingly secluded woodland setting with substantial surrounding land. However, the interior is a raw, overgrown ruin rather than a usable home, so this is a substantial restoration project and not a realistic dream house without major investment.
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€40,000 – €59,000
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.
- Clearly a ruin requiring major reconstruction, not a move-in home.
- Interior appears raw, overgrown and without usable floors, windows or services.
- Isolated woodland access and utilities will need careful verification.
- Structural, roof and planning feasibility should be assessed before purchase.
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 61/100The cluster is in the lower Ligurian Alps, in the valley of the Lerrone stream, with wooded slopes, olive groves and small ridge villages. The nearest coast is the Riviera di Ponente around Albenga and Alassio, but it is outside the 15 km landscape radius and does not count as the setting itself. Albenga is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and services. This part of western Liguria is known for olive cultivation and for inland villages linked to the coastal plain.
