Si tratta di un terreno di 3.653 mq, coltivato a uliveto, inserito in un contesto tranquillo e ben esposto. All'interno della proprietà si trova un rustico in pietra di 36 mq, che può essere...
What it really costs
- Land, with no house on it
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The description is primarily for 3,653 sqm of olive-grove land with a 36 sqm stone rustico, and the truncated text does not confirm it is a legal dwelling; that makes this effectively a land/rustic listing, a major veto risk. Even before legal uncertainty, €55,000 + about €39,600 restoration implies roughly €2,628/m² effective versus a very low €438/m² baseline, so it is not cheap on the numbers.
More on the house and the area
The olive grove setting is attractive, and the little stone building has genuine rustic Ligurian character. But this looks more like a small roofed rustico in land than a real live-in home, with no interior evidence of finished, usable space. Dreamy land value helps, yet the actual house appears very limited for immediate living.
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€14,000 – €21,000
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.
- Tiny 36 sqm stone rustico with no interior shown; likely a basic project rather than a usable home
- Condition/livability is unclear and probably limited despite the roofed structure
- Directly on the provincial road, so privacy and quiet may be reduced
- Sea is nearby, but no sea view is proven in the photos
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 76/100The area sits in the Ligurian Alps foothills above the Val Nervia. The Nervia river valley is the main landscape feature here, with steep olive terraces and wooded slopes around the village. Apricale itself is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia. Dolceacqua, the nearest small town of note down the valley, has a bridge and castle in its historic centre and is known together with this valley for Rossese di Dolceacqua wine and olive cultivation. The coast around Ventimiglia and Bordighera is a short drive away but is outside the immediate landscape of the cluster.
