What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €75,000 for 120 sqm, the ask is €625/sqm; assuming renovation at about €700/sqm from the vague description with cantine/magazzino and no clear habitability claim, effective cost is about €1,325/sqm versus a low-stock baseline of €538/sqm in Liguria. Sea distance at 3 km helps a bit, but the unclear condition/use and limited details keep this only fair.
More on the house and the area
The property has some appeal from its wooded Ligurian setting and a very low price for 120 sqm with 5,000 sqm of land near the coast. But the photos show a rough, neglected structure rather than a ready home, with no interior evidence of current livability. This feels more like a renovation project with potential than an immediate dream-home buy.
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€24,000 – €42,000
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.
- Exterior looks neglected and likely needs major renovation
- Photos do not show any usable interior rooms, kitchen or bathroom condition
- Terrace and masonry show weathering/moss and possible waterproofing issues
- Semi-rural setting appears cluttered and may need substantial site clearing
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 69/100The cluster is in the lower Magra plain between the Ligurian Sea and the Apuan Alps. The Magra River and the plain at its mouth are the main landscape feature within reach. The Montemarcello-Magra-Vara Regional Park is partly within this area, including the lower river and the promontory above Bocca di Magra. The nearest coast is the mouth of the Magra with the beaches and shore around Marinella and Fiumaretta, and Lerici is just beyond the plain. The Apuan Alps rise just to the east, with marble country around Carrara within short driving distance. Sarzana is the nearest town of size and has a substantial historic centre and the Fortezza Firmafede. The area is known for the Magra estuary, nearby seaside settlements, and as the transition zone between eastern Liguria and northern Tuscany.
