See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €50,000 plus an estimated €108,000 renovation, the effective cost is about €1,756/m², far above the local €447/m² reference. The 1-hectare agricultural plot adds value, but the house needs major work, lacks heating, and the listing does not confirm utilities or residential habitability.
More on the house and the area
This rustic rural house has genuine character, mountain views, and an unusually generous 1-hectare agricultural setting near Trecchina. However, it is clearly a substantial renovation project rather than a move-in home: the exterior is weathered, the grounds are overgrown, and the listing even allows for demolition and reconstruction.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,200/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€36,000 – €53,000
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.

No mains drain: add €2,000–4,500 for a septic tank. Listings never say, so ask.
- Major renovation or possible demolition/reconstruction is needed; the property has no heating system.
- The building appears weathered, with overgrown grounds and an aging roof.
- No interior photos are provided, so actual habitability, utilities, and bathroom/kitchen condition are uncertain.
- Rural access and redevelopment permissions should be verified.
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 cluster is in the southern Apennines, with the wooded Monte Sirino massif and the mountains above the Noce valley within the local landscape. The Noce river runs to the Tyrrhenian nearby, and the coast around Maratea is within roughly 10 km with a deeply indented shoreline below steep slopes. The area lies on the edge of the Appennino Lucano Val d'Agri Lagonegrese National Park. The nearest ski lifts are on Monte Sirino above Lagonegro, about a 30-40 minute drive depending on the hamlet. Maratea is the nearest town of size on the coast, with a marina, railway station, historic centre and seafront settlements; Lagonegro is the main inland service town with shops and administrative services. Maratea is known for its cliff coast, small coves and the Cristo Redentore statue above the town; the inland area around Trecchina is known for chestnut woods and mountain walking.
