At €55,180 for 51,758 m² and only 2 km from the sea, this is unusually inexpensive, but the €/m² figure is dominated by the land rather than the house. The listing does not state the building area, condition, bathrooms, or habitation status, so the apparent bargain needs careful verification.
More on the house and the area
The real appeal is the enormous 51,758 m² rural estate near Syracuse, with open agricultural views, olive trees, a farmhouse setting and attractive exposed-beam interiors. The main living area appears furnished and usable, with tiled floors, bedrooms and a bathroom, but the surrounding farm buildings are utilitarian and partly derelict rather than immediately habitable. At €55,180, the land-to-price ratio is striking, though this is more a working-country estate than a polished dream villa.
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€10,248,000 – €18,167,000
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 property mixes a furnished, apparently usable farmhouse with extensive rough agricultural/storage buildings.
- Several outbuildings show substantial deterioration, clutter and likely renovation needs.
- It is an isolated rural property reached via an unpaved track; utilities and the bathroom count should be verified.
- This is a pre-auction listing, so legal and auction conditions require careful checking.
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 55/100This cluster is in the built-up area of Siracusa, so the resident setting is urban streets rather than open landscape. The Ionian coast is nearby, with the low limestone shore south of the city and the bay and harbour of Siracusa. The Plemmirio marine protected area lies just south of the city. Syracuse itself is a major historic city with the island of Ortigia, the Greek theatre and archaeological park, and UNESCO status as part of Syracuse and the Rocky Necropolis of Pantalica. The area is known for the archaeological remains of the Greek city and for the coastal scenery of the south-eastern Sicilian shore.
