In the listingNeeds renovationSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €34,090 for 145 m², the purchase price is low, but estimated renovation brings the effective cost to about €936/m² versus a local reference of €366/m². The listing does not state a usable bathroom count, adding uncertainty to an already remote, renovation-dependent property.
More on the house and the area
This is a substantial 145 m² independent rural home with a large private agricultural plot, well and garden potential at an exceptionally low price. It has a usable multi-room layout, kitchen and heating, but the property needs real renovation and lacks the visual character, views or finished interiors that would make it a top-tier dream home.
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€29,000 – €51,000
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.

- The home is explicitly sold as needing renovation, so it is not move-in ready.
- One bedroom was created from a garage, which should be checked for planning and cadastral compliance.
- The 1,137 m² agricultural land, well, aerial power connection and rural access require practical and legal verification.
- Only one bathroom is listed for a 145 m² house.
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 68/100The Alburni mountains are the immediate setting here, with wooded limestone slopes and inland valleys around Sicignano. The area falls within the Cilento, Vallo di Diano e Alburni National Park. The Sele river valley is nearby and shapes the main route north toward Contursi and south toward Eboli. Battipaglia is the nearest larger town in daily use, with major retail, rail connections and access to the A2 motorway. Paestum and the Tyrrhenian coast are farther west and matter more for occasional trips than for the landscape within the village radius. The area is known for mountain villages, forested karst terrain and access routes into the Alburni and upper Sele valley.
