The description shows this is not a normal 200 sqm dwelling: only the first floor is residential while the ground floor is garage/portico, and it is sold with 7,600 sqm of agricultural land. At €40,000 plus roughly €700/m² renovation on the usable residential area, this is not a straightforward livable house purchase for your catalog and should be treated as an agricultural/storage-type listing.
More on the house and the area
There is some appeal in the isolated rural setting, the open valley outlook, and the large plot for the price. But the house looks neglected rather than charming, with overgrowth, stained facades and a visibly deteriorated terrace canopy. This feels more like a low-cost project with land than an immediately dreamable home.
Certified wiring, water and drainage, a heat source, a roof that keeps the water out, one working bathroom. Facade, insulation, a second bathroom and the floors wait.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Our read of the photos, €700/m², falls in this band.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€40,000 – €70,000
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.
Bringing a house that has stood empty back into service: new water, sewer and electricity, plus the practices. The same sum on an 80 m² house and on a 300 m² one, which is why a €40,000 house is not a €40,000 project.

The area around
Location score 52/100The area lies on the Sibari plain, with flat agricultural land around the lower Crati basin and the first hills rising inland. The Ionian coast is about 10 km away, with the shoreline of the Gulf of Taranto forming the nearest sea landscape. Pollino is the mountain range that dominates the wider northern Calabrian interior, but it is outside the immediate 15 km landscape. The nearest town of size is Corigliano-Rossano on the Ionian side, with wider services, rail links and shopping; Castrovillari inland is another reference town for hospitals and administration. This part of Calabria is known for citrus, olive growing and the archaeological area of Sybaris on the plain near Cassano allo Ionio.
