The description explicitly says 'annesso agricolo' with garage/storage/WC, so it is not a legal dwelling and fails the primary habitability check. It has also been on the market for 1202 days; despite 2 ha of land and sea at 5 km, this is a non-residential outbuilding offered at €65,000.
More on the house and the area
The real wow here is the Tuscan landscape: open rolling green hills, privacy, and a generous piece of land with fruit trees. The structure itself is simple and intact, with roof, floors, electricity and a basic WC, but it reads more as a tidy annex/garage-magazzino than a ready home. Dreamy setting, modest building, and livability would need real upgrading.
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€12,000 – €18,000
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.
- Agricultural outbuilding rather than a standard home
- Very small at 30 sqm with garage/store layout
- Needs conversion/fit-out for real everyday living
- Access is via about 1.5 km of unpaved road
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 area sits on the Tyrrhenian coast with the Ligurian Sea shore at Rosignano Solvay, Castiglioncello and Vada inside the local radius. The coastal landscape includes low cliffs around Castiglioncello and broader sandy stretches toward Vada. The Macchia della Magona and the wooded hills of the Livorno-Colline Metallifere belt are inland, with the more continuous hill country beginning quickly behind the coast. The nearest town of size is Livorno, with a major port, rail links and city services. Rosignano Marittimo itself is a historic hill town above the coast. Castiglioncello is a long-established seaside resort. The area is known for its Etruscan coast setting, beach tourism and the white beaches created beside the industrial shore at Rosignano Solvay.
