Rural farmhouse fully to renovate (da ristrutturare) at aseline median of \u20ac400/m2, listed at \u20ac1000/m2 \u2014 2.5x the town baseline. Full gut renovation needed (~\u20ac1200/m2), so all-in cost approaches \u20ac2200/m2 before contingencies. Agerola is a desirable Amalfi-coast-adjacent location with tourism potential, and the 2000 m2 land plot adds value, which partly justifies the premium. The premium over an already thin baseline (n=137, low median) plus heavy reno cost makes this a weak deal unless the land/location value is exceptional. Fresh listing (6 days).
More on the house and the area
The listing's lead image shows a picturesque Mediterranean stone-and-timber house that does not match the remaining photos, which reveal an overgrown 2,000 sqm plot, a dilapidated village setting, and a tired multi-story building requiring complete renovation. The genuine appeal is the large land parcel near Amalfi Coast hiking trails (Monti Lattari) in Agerola, with mountain/greenery surroundings and a possible distant sea glimpse in one street shot. But there is no wow in the current building state — it's a blank-slate renovation project. At €90k for 90sqm plus 2,000sqm land in a desirable panoramic area, the value is in potential, not present appeal.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,200/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€36,000 – €53,000
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.
- First photo (stunning stone facade with timber framing) appears to be a stock/reference image inconsistent with the actual property, which is a derelict rural building to be fully renovated
- No interior photos; property is completely uninhabitable (da ristrutturare)
- Overgrown land, run-down structures, and cluttered village lane in actual site photos
- No bathrooms/beds listed, no energy class, no condition data
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.
