At €126/m², this 215 m² farmhouse is about 68% below comparable local stock, with the sea only 3 km away. The €27,000 price for a claimed renovated home is unusually low, while the sparse listing and unstated bedroom and bathroom details require careful verification.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, clean-lined and apparently recently refurbished property, with good flooring, modern lighting, and one attractive finished bathroom. However, it lacks Italian farmhouse character, garden, terrace, or a proven sea view, and several rooms appear empty or incomplete rather than ready to live in. At this price it may be a bargain, but the listing needs careful verification of the layout, utilities, kitchen, and legal status.
The listing and its photos show a house you can move into. Anything you spend beyond the price is your choice, not a repair.
- Despite being marketed as renovated, the photos show unfinished-looking rooms and exposed plumbing.
- No kitchen, bedrooms, or clearly usable living setup are shown.
- The exterior is a generic multi-unit building rather than a characterful farmhouse.
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 Agrigento, so the resident landscape is an urban hill city above the southern Sicilian coast. The Mediterranean coast is a few kilometres away, with the shoreline at San Leone and the beaches of the Agrigento area. The Valle dei Templi archaeological area lies immediately outside the urban core, with the ridge of Greek temples above the coastal plain; it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Porto Empedocle is the nearest smaller coastal town, and the city itself has the full services of a provincial capital. This part of the province is known for the Valley of the Temples and for the low, dry hills of the southern Sicilian coast.
