The description says 'rudere da recuperare' with a reconstruction project and 2 hectares of agricultural land, so this is effectively a ruin/land-led purchase rather than a livable house. At €75,000 for 50 sqm plus full rebuild-level works (~€1,100/sqm), the effective cost is about €2,600/sqm versus a €509/sqm baseline, and it has been listed for 6,224 days.
More on the house and the area
The old stone shell has rustic Tuscan character and comes with a substantial piece of land, which gives it some dream value. But the photos and description show a true ruin to recover, overgrown and uninhabitable, with no usable interior at present. This is a rebuild project rather than a cheap Italian home you could actually live in soon.
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€20,000 – €29,000
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.
- Genuine rudere to be rebuilt, not a livable house
- No visible roofed/finished interior, kitchen, or bathroom
- Heavy overgrowth suggests major clearance and structural work
- Value depends on permits and reconstruction project details
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 66/100The Colline Metallifere begin around Suvereto, with low wooded and cultivated hills rather than high mountains. The Cornia river plain lies nearby, and the Tyrrhenian coast around the Gulf of Follonica is about 10 km away. The area includes the Montioni Natural Park between Suvereto, Campiglia Marittima and Follonica. The nearest larger centre is Piombino, with port services, rail links and the main shopping and administrative functions for this part of the Val di Cornia; Venturina Terme is the nearer service town for everyday needs. Suvereto is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia. This part of the Val di Cornia is known for vineyards, olive groves and the historic mining and metalworking landscape of the Metalliferous Hills.
