At €35,000 (€361/m²), the asking price is below the local €503/m² benchmark, but an 1870 farmhouse with no stated condition, bathrooms, or utilities may require substantial work. Allowing about €700/m² for renovation brings the effective cost near €701/m², so the apparent discount largely disappears.
More on the house and the area
This 1870 Sardinian farmhouse has a memorable, characterful façade, mature garden, outdoor space, tiled floors, fireplaces, and attractive exposed timber ceilings. It is a solid roofed house rather than a ruin, but it is clearly not move-in ready: the walls need extensive repair and repainting, and the lack of a listed bathroom is a major livability concern.
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€19,000 – €34,000
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.
- Substantial renovation is needed: the interiors show peeling plaster, damp-related deterioration, and dated finishes.
- No bathroom is shown or listed, and the kitchen facilities appear incomplete and very basic.
- The corrugated-roof covered areas and visible masonry deterioration need technical inspection.
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 49/100The area lies on the Campidano plain, with broad agricultural land around the town and the Monte Linas and Medio Campidano massifs to the north and east within this radius. The Rio Pardu and other minor watercourses cross the plain, but the dominant setting is inland farmland rather than a major river landscape. The nearest substantial town is Sanluri, which has services and a preserved historic centre with a castle. This part of Sardinia is known for saffron production, and San Gavino Monreale is one of the places associated with it.
