The €45,000 price covers 4,950 sqm of land plus another 2,250 sqm, with only a 19 sqm small ruin rather than a livable farmhouse. This is effectively a land purchase and would require major reconstruction, so it is not a sound dwelling opportunity.
More on the house and the area
The panoramic Ligurian hillside setting, sea glimpses, and nearly 5,000 sqm of land are genuinely attractive. However, the only building is a small, roofless stone ruin with no usable interior, so this is a land-and-reconstruction project rather than a home someone could realistically live in.
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€1,960,000 – €2,896,000
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.
- The 19 sqm structure is a genuine roofless ruin, not a habitable farmhouse.
- Major rebuilding, permits, utilities, and access infrastructure would likely be required.
- The property includes extensive land, but much of it appears overgrown or agricultural rather than landscaped.
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 62/100The area sits in the first inland hills above the Gulf of Diano, with short valleys, olive terraces and ridge villages typical of western Liguria. The nearest coast is the Riviera di Ponente around Diano Marina and Imperia, with beaches and marinas a few kilometres downhill. Imperia is the nearest town of size, with full services, a port and a larger historic centre spread between Porto Maurizio and Oneglia. This part of the province is known for olive cultivation and Ligurian olive oil.
