At €85,000 for 89 sqm, the ask is €955/sqm; with a typical needs-renovation budget of about €700/sqm, the effective cost is roughly €1,655/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €420/sqm in Campania townhouses. The listing has also been on the market for 309 days, which is a strong negative signal, even though the text suggests a standard independent house rather than a legal-use red flag.
More on the house and the area
This is a simple rural house with privacy and some surrounding land, so it has a modest countryside appeal. The structure looks standing and roofed, and there is a usable bathroom, but the home is very plain and clearly needs significant renovation before it feels comfortable. It reads more as a basic fixer-upper than a dream Italian home.
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€17,000 – €31,000
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.

The area around
Location score 78/100The cluster lies on the Sele plain below the Monti Alburni and not far from the Cilento foothills. The Tyrrhenian coast at Paestum is within the area, with long sandy beaches and the mouth area of the Sele to the north. The archaeological area of Paestum, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is nearby and is the main landmark of the plain. Agropoli is the nearest larger coastal town with a port, services and rail connections, and Battipaglia is the nearest larger inland service centre. The area is known for Paestum’s Greek temples and for buffalo-milk mozzarella production on the plain.
