What it really costs
Can you move in?
Not before the basics are done
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €971/m² before renovation, the asking price is already more than twice the local €427/m² benchmark; allowing roughly €700/m² for an unspecified condition raises the effective cost to about €1,671/m². The listing does not say whether the farmhouse is legally habitable or what condition it is in, and provides only one photo.
More on the house and the area
A highly atmospheric Gallurese farmhouse with traditional clay roof tiles, rustic plaster, mature greenery, and a very private Sardinian setting. The roofed structure and stated water, electricity, and paved-road access suggest a real property rather than a complete ruin, but its interior and renovation needs are unknown, so it does not yet reach dream-home territory.
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€14,000 – €25,000
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.
- Only one exterior photo is provided, so interior condition and actual livability cannot be verified.
- The traditional roof and plasterwork appear aged and may require substantial renovation.
- Utilities and road access are stated, but bathroom, kitchen, and heating are not documented.
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 in Gallura, the granite-country of north-eastern Sardinia, in the province of Sassari. The local terrain within about 15 km is low granite hills and scattered granite outcrops with Mediterranean maquis, cork oak, olive groves and vineyards. The area lies inside the Vermentino di Gallura DOCG wine zone and local agriculture includes Vermentino vineyards. The Tyrrhenian Sea and the Sardinian north-east coast are about 13 km away. There are no national parks or ski lifts inside the 15 km radius. Monti itself is a small town (population ~2,400) serving the immediate area; the main regional airport (Olbia Costa Smeralda) and larger towns are farther away and require a drive for major services.
