At €100,000 plus an estimated €77,000 renovation, the effective cost is about €2,529/m²—far above the local €462/m² reference, despite the sea view and 1 km distance from the coast. The building is unfinished, includes a warehouse level, is reachable only on foot, and the listing does not state its legal habitability or approved residential status.
More on the house and the area
The hillside setting is appealing, with a distant sea view, lush fruit garden, and one genuinely characterful vaulted room. However, this is a raw unfinished building rather than a livable farmhouse: the interiors need a full fit-out, and exclusive pedestrian access seriously limits practicality.
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€28,000 – €41,000
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 is an unfinished shell with bare brick/block walls, concrete floors, and no usable kitchen or bathroom shown.
- It is accessible exclusively on foot, which may make construction and everyday living difficult.
- Substantial finishing work, utilities, and technical/urban-planning verification are still required.
- The sea view is attractive, but the photos show a steep, rugged setting rather than a finished outdoor living area.
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 72/100The cluster sits on the Ligurian coastal hills above the Riviera dei Fiori, with the Ligurian Sea and the built coast around Ospedaletti, Bordighera and Sanremo within a few kilometres. The area is part of the inland rise from the coast to the Ligurian Alps, with olive terraces and ridge villages rather than high mountain scenery at the doorstep. The nearest larger town is Sanremo, which has full services, a marina, a casino and a substantial historic centre. The nearest major airport in daily use is Nice, across the French border. Seborga is known for its self-declared "Principality" identity, which is a local curiosity rather than an official status.
