At €352/m², the asking price is slightly below the local €363/m² benchmark, and the home is only 4 km from the sea. However, allowing roughly €32,400 for basic updates brings the effective cost to about €552/m²; the listing does not state the condition, construction year, energy class, or bathroom details.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, functioning 162 m² independent home in Dorgali’s historic center, with two balconies, a fireplace, kitchen, autonomous heating, and connected utilities. It appears realistically livable rather than a renovation shell, but the presentation proves little about visual beauty and offers no garden or standout view. The approximately 58% discount is the main dream factor, tempered by the judicial-auction process and shared access.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€11,000 – €18,000
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.
- Auction purchase with legal and procedural risks; full appraisal and documents should be reviewed.
- Access is through a shared courtyard with a right of way, plus external stairs and landing.
- The property is described as in decent condition, but the gallery provides no actual interior or exterior photos to verify finish quality or views.
- No private garden, parking box, or notable panorama is documented.
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 91/100The Supramonte range rises immediately west of Dorgali, with limestone plateaus, gorges and cave systems within the local area. The Gulf of Orosei is on the nearby east coast, with the beaches and cliffs of Cala Gonone in the same comune and the coastal stretch of Cala Luna among the known natural features of this part of Sardinia. Much of the mountain and coastal landscape here falls within the Parco Nazionale del Golfo di Orosei e del Gennargentu framework and the local protected territory around the gulf. Dorgali is the main small town for the area, with a historic centre, everyday services and access to the coast at Cala Gonone. The area is known for karst landscapes, trekking, sea caves, shepherding and local wine and craft traditions.
