At €36,000 (€947/m²) this is explicitly a 38 m² magazzino, totally to renovate, on 13,000 m² of olive grove—not a confirmed dwelling. Even before renovation, the estimated €1,100/m² restoration cost makes it unsuitable for buyers seeking a legally habitable home.
More on the house and the area
The setting is genuinely attractive, with extensive olive trees, cultivated land, open countryside, and a distant sea or coastal panorama. However, the small farmhouse is a derelict agricultural building rather than a usable home, with no visible interior or residential facilities. Its low price and large olive grove create project appeal, but it is a renovation opportunity, not a move-in dream house.
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€15,000 – €22,000
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.
- The 38 sqm building is explicitly totally in need of renovation and has no demonstrated living facilities.
- No interior photos, bathroom, kitchen, utilities, or habitable rooms are shown.
- The property includes a large 13,000 sqm olive grove, so upkeep and access may be significant.
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 78/100The Madonie mountains rise immediately inland from Collesano, with Monte San Salvatore above the town and the higher Madonie massif within the same local area. The Tyrrhenian coast is close at Campofelice di Roccella and Cefalù, and the Imera Settentrionale river valley opens nearby. Much of the surrounding upland falls within the Parco delle Madonie, a regional park. The nearest ski area is Piano Battaglia in the Madonie, reached by a mountain drive of roughly 45 minutes. The nearest substantial town is Cefalù, which has a seafront historic centre, a cathedral and rail links on the Palermo–Messina line. Cefalù cathedral is part of the Arab-Norman Palermo and the Cathedral Churches of Cefalù and Monreale UNESCO listing. The area is known for the Madonie mountain villages, olive groves and access from coast to mountain in a short distance.
