What it really costs
- Registered as agricultural or storage, not as a dwelling
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The description explicitly says 'edificio agricolo' and markets it with 836 sqm of land by the river, which is a legal-use veto for a normal dwelling search. At €60,000 for 45 sqm (€1,333/m²), it is also far above the Liguria farmhouse baseline of €500/m² before any renovation.
More on the house and the area
This has a sweet, rustic Ligurian-countryside feel: a tiny detached house with terraced land, greenery and a simple fireplace inside. The key positive is that it appears roofed, furnished and usable, not a shell, but it is very basic and more like a modest weekend retreat than a beautiful ready-to-live dream home. The outdoor setting is pleasant and natural rather than spectacular, with the land needing real tidying.
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€9,000 – €16,000
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.
- Very small agricultural building rather than a full conventional house
- Interiors look basic and likely suited more to weekends/holiday use
- Garden and riverside land are overgrown and need substantial maintenance
- No proven sea or open valley views 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 cluster is in the Ligurian Alps, with Monte Bignone and the inland ridges above the Riviera di Ponente close by. The Argentina valley is the main valley system in this part of inland Imperia, and the coast at Sanremo and Arma di Taggia is a short drive below. Much of the surrounding upland falls within the Parco Naturale Regionale delle Alpi Liguri. The nearest ski area is Monesi, roughly an hour by road in normal conditions. Sanremo is the nearest town of size, with full services, a railway station, a marina and the Casino. Bajardo is known for its stone mountain village setting and for the ruins of the old parish church damaged by the 1887 earthquake.
