The description explicitly says "rudere molto antico" with approved project to rebuild, so this is effectively a ruin/building plot rather than a livable house; the listed 6,130 sqm clearly includes about 6,000 sqm of land, making the €14/m2 figure not comparable to the Calabria farmhouse baseline of €250/m2. At €85k after a 355-day listing, this suits someone wanting to build a villa on agricultural/buildable land, not a normal renovation buy.
More on the house and the area
The frontage has some faded historic charm, and the 6,000+ sqm plot with lush greenery gives it dream-project potential. But this is explicitly a rudere rather than a usable home, with no proven liveable interior shown, so the score is capped well below true dream-home territory. At the price it may feel like a bargain for land and rebuild potential, not for immediate Italian living.
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€2,427,000 – €3,586,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

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 55/100This cluster lies in the built-up area of Reggio Calabria on the Strait of Messina, with the Aspromonte massif rising inland within the same local landscape. The Strait is the defining water feature, and the nearest beaches are on the Ionian and Tyrrhenian sides of the metropolitan area. Aspromonte National Park begins inland and frames daily views from the city side, but from this location a resident lives primarily in an urban fabric rather than in open mountain country. Reggio Calabria is the main city of the area and has a seafront, ferry links across the strait, the National Archaeological Museum with the Riace Bronzes, and the main services of a provincial capital. The area is known for the strait setting between Calabria and Sicily and for bergamot cultivation in the wider province.
