What it really costs
Can you move in?
A project, not a home yet
Condition not stated in the listing- Registered as agricultural or storage, not as a dwelling
- Land, with no house on it
See what needs doing and what each job costs
At €18,000 for 40 m², this is agricultural land with a shed, wells, and fruit trees—not a legally described dwelling. The listing presents it for agricultural, leisure, or storage use, so it does not meet the catalog’s livable-home criteria despite its €450/m² asking price.
More on the house and the area
The property has an attractive mountain panorama, fenced fruit-growing land, mature trees, and two wells. However, the 40 sqm structure is only a rough agricultural shed, not a usable house, so the strong setting does not translate into a dream-home opportunity.
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.
- This is agricultural land with a shed, not a habitable home; there are no bedrooms or bathrooms.
- The shed is unfinished and utilitarian, with no evidence of a kitchen or residential services.
- Agricultural zoning and any possibility of building or converting 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 82/100The cluster is on the Tyrrhenian side below the southern Apennines, with wooded ridges and valleys around Rivello and the Noce basin. The coast of the Gulf of Policastro is within the 15 km radius, with the shore at Maratea and the Tyrrhenian immediately below the inland slopes. Much of the area falls in the Appennino Lucano Val d'Agri Lagonegrese National Park. Maratea is the nearest town of size in daily use on this side, with a rail station, port and services. Maratea is known for its historic center on the mountain above the sea, its indented coast and the Christ the Redeemer statue on Monte San Biagio. The area is known for chestnut woods inland and for the coast around Maratea.
