This is explicitly agricultural land with a rural outbuilding, 7,000 sqm of farmland and crops, rather than a clearly habitable dwelling. The €17,000 price reflects the agricultural nature of the property and should not be compared with ordinary residential homes.
More on the house and the area
The setting is appealing: a secluded Sicilian hillside property with extensive lemon, almond, and olive trees, open valley views, and a characterful old rural structure with a timber roof. However, the building is not a move-in home—it has a rough interior, no visible bathroom or kitchen, and requires significant renovation. At €17,000, the land and productive orchard create strong project value, but this is primarily an agricultural restoration opportunity rather than an immediately livable 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€16,000 – €23,000
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 40 sqm rural building appears very basic and unfinished, with no bathroom or kitchen visible.
- Interior walls and floors need substantial renovation, and there are visible cracks and damp-related wear.
- Access is via rough agricultural tracks; water is supplied by a cistern, but utilities and legal status 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 53/100The area sits on the inland Hyblaean plateau, with open agricultural hills and dry valleys typical of south-eastern Sicily. The river landscape nearest at hand is the Caltagirone plain and the upper valleys that cut through this part of the province. Caltagirone is the nearest substantial town and has a large historic centre, services, and its well-known ceramic tradition. This part of inland eastern Sicily is known for grain fields, olive groves and ceramics.
