Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €385/m², the asking price is slightly below the local €402/m² reference, and the property is only 4 km from the sea. However, the condition is not stated, the energy rating is G, and 100 of the 260 m² is warehouse space, so a substantial renovation budget could raise the effective cost to about €1,085/m².
More on the house and the area
This is a genuinely usable, spacious Sicilian property with furnished interiors, a working kitchen and bathroom, a covered veranda, and substantial outdoor greenery. It lacks a dramatic view or strong historic character, while the dated finishes, weathered exterior and large raw warehouse make it more of a practical value opportunity than a turnkey 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€51,000 – €91,000
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 main living areas appear usable but dated, with visible exterior damp/weathering and some peeling plaster.
- The 100 sqm central warehouse is utilitarian and may need substantial adaptation before becoming living space.
- The large 1,300 sqm plot is across from the house and appears heavily overgrown; verify access, boundaries, zoning and development permissions.
- Energy class G and limited bathroom information should be checked carefully.
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 55/100The cluster is in the built-up area of Marsala, so the lived setting is an urban edge on the low coastal plain of western Sicily. The Stagnone di Marsala lagoon and the salt pans lie within this area, with shallow water, salt basins and the Isola di Mozia in the lagoon. This stretch of coast is part of the Riserva Naturale Orientata Isole dello Stagnone di Marsala. Trapani is the other main town nearby; Marsala itself is a substantial service town with a historic centre, port functions, shops and schools. The area is known for wine production, especially Marsala wine, and for salt extraction landscapes along the coast.
