At €55,000, this is primarily 4,000 m² of agricultural land with a 95 m² storage/clearance room, explicitly described for use as a deposito, magazzino, or equipment shelter. The listing does not present it as a legally habitable dwelling, making it unsuitable for a buyer seeking a home.
More on the house and the area
The 4,000 sqm plot has genuine appeal: mature olive and fruit trees, grapevines, privacy, and a pleasant mountain backdrop near Sardinia’s coast. However, the building is a rough agricultural storage structure rather than a beautiful, ready-to-live-in farmhouse, despite showing a rudimentary bathroom and room. It is primarily a land-and-project purchase, not a dream home.
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€38,000 – €56,000
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.
- This is advertised as agricultural land with a 95 sqm storage/depot building, not a confirmed residential home.
- The interiors are very basic and utilitarian, with damp-looking walls, unfinished surfaces, and no proper kitchen or comfortable living space.
- Residential conversion, utilities, septic arrangements, and planning legality must be verified before assuming it can be lived in.
- The property is reached through a rural track and the land appears somewhat overgrown and improvised.
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 70/100Low, rocky hills of the Sulcis-Iglesiente lie around Iglesias rather than high alpine mountains. The Mediterranean coast is about 14 km away; the Sulcis coast with beaches and small fishing ports sits on that shoreline. No national park or ski area is within about 15 km. Iglesias is the local town and provides the usual municipal services and a historic town centre; other small villages and coastal towns lie inside the radius. The locality is inside the Sulcis-Iglesiente mining district: disused mine workings, spoil heaps and other industrial-archaeological features are visible in the surrounding landscape. Vegetation is typical Mediterranean maquis with some olive groves, vineyards and pasture on gentler slopes.
