- Land, with no house on it

The description says this is agricultural land of 6,000 sqm with three small 20 sqm outbuildings, not a clearly lawful dwelling; that is a veto-level risk for residential buyers. At €45,000 for only 20 sqm recorded area (€2,250/m²) against a low-stock baseline of €817/m², it is not cheap even before any restoration.
More on the house and the area
The olive-dotted plot and little roadside shrine give it some quiet Apulian atmosphere, and the land looks pleasant and accessible. But the structures shown are just small rustic outbuildings, not a usable home, so this reads far more as a countryside project than a place you could realistically live in now.
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€8,000 – €12,000
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.
- Not a livable home as shown: tiny outbuildings only, no visible finished interior.
- Likely a full renovation/change-of-use project rather than move-in countryside living.
- No bathroom or kitchen shown.
- Beauty comes mainly from the land, not the buildings.
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.
