See what needs doing and what each job costs
The description sells a semi-independent 80 sqm building together with 2,000 sqm of agricultural land, but it gives no clear residential classification for the structure; with a farmhouse-type listing tied to terreno agricolo, this needs legal verification before treating it as a dwelling. Using a habitable estimate, effective cost is about €1,078/m2 (€79,000 + ~€18,000 works over 90 sqm) versus a very low internal baseline of €433/m2, and it has been on the market for 673 days.
More on the house and the area
The main appeal is the setting: a fenced olive-and-fruit garden with mountain views and greenery, plus the river boundary, gives it a genuinely pleasant live-in feel. The house itself looks simple but solid and habitable from outside, with parking and usable outdoor space, though not especially beautiful architecturally. This feels more like a practical countryside home with charm than a true dream-property scroll-stopper.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€6,000 – €10,000
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.
- Exterior is plain rather than photogenic or characterful
- No interior photos, so finish quality and true move-in readiness are unproven
- Roadside setting and nearby houses reduce the romantic/privacy factor
- Outdoor areas look functional but somewhat basic and patched together
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 68/100The cluster is in the upper Sele valley at the foot of the Picentini Mountains. The Sele river basin shapes the area, and the Monti Picentini Regional Park begins nearby with wooded slopes and mountain ridges above the town. Campagna itself has a substantial historic hill centre, and Eboli is the nearest larger town with full services and rail links. This part of inland Salerno is known for olive groves, mixed farmland and mountain water sources.
