The property is described as a rudere, so restoring the 32 m² building could cost roughly €35,000, bringing the effective cost to about €1,975/m² versus a €490/m² local benchmark. The 1,500 m² plot adds value, but the listing does not clarify habitability, structural condition, or planning status.
More on the house and the area
A highly atmospheric stone farmhouse with beautiful exposed masonry, timber beams, a fireplace and an exceptional mountain panorama. The roof and parts of the interior are in place, but this is still closer to a rustic project than a fully usable home, with a very basic bathroom and unfinished-looking areas.
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€13,000 – €19,000
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.
- Despite the attractive renovation elements, the listing describes the property as a rudere, so significant work or regularization may still be required.
- The bathroom is extremely basic and the kitchen appears rudimentary; utilities, heating, insulation and year-round habitability are not established.
- Access and the practicality of the steep wooded 1,500 sqm plot should be verified.
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 82/100The Apuan Alps rise immediately above Seravezza, with Monte Altissimo and the marble mountains of the Alta Versilia within the local landscape. The Versilia plain and the Vezza and Serra streams meet here before the short run to the coast. The Parco Regionale delle Alpi Apuane begins in the mountains just inland. The nearest ski lifts are the small Abetone area, roughly 1 hour 30 minutes away by road, so they are not part of the immediate setting. Pietrasanta is the nearest town of size, with a substantial historic centre and services, and Viareggio and Lucca are the larger nearby urban centres for daily needs. Medicean sites at Seravezza form part of the UNESCO World Heritage listing for the Medici Villas and Gardens of Tuscany. This area is known for marble quarries, the foothills of the Apuan Alps, and the transition from mountain valleys to the Versilia coast.
