What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
In the listingHabitable- Registered as agricultural or storage, not as a dwelling
- Land, with no house on it
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The description says the built space is a 100 sqm 'locale ad uso deposito' and highlights agricultural/storage uses, so it is not a legal dwelling as presented. The €100,000 price mainly appears to be for 30,000 sqm of land plus storage, making the 700 sqm the listing figure inconsistent and not suitable for normal townhouse €/m² comparison.
More on the house and the area
The setting has big open Basilicata countryside views and genuine privacy, with substantial land that gives it some dream value. But the building itself looks plain and utilitarian rather than beautiful, and the listing describes it as a 100 sqm deposito, not a clearly finished home. This feels more like a rural project/base with usable structure than an immediately desirable house to live in.
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€139,000 – €246,000
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.
- Looks more like a farm outbuilding/deposito than a finished home
- No bathroom shown and listing states 0 baths
- Exterior and land are dry, sparse and need landscaping
- Likely basic rural access/utilities despite consortium water
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 is known for the Sassi, ravine landscapes and rock-cut churches of the Lucanian Murgia.
