What it really costs
Can you move in?
Livable, but something basic is worn out
Condition not stated in the listingSee what needs doing and what each job costs
At €66,000 (€471/m²), the main house is already about 22% above the local €387/m² reference before allowing for its medium habitable condition and the small cottage needing renovation. The panoramic Gallura setting, garden, utilities and 17 photos add appeal, but the property is 20 km from the sea and is not a clear bargain.
More on the house and the area
This is a charming traditional Sardinian country house with a long pink-stucco facade, red shutters, tiled roof, and a generous mature garden containing olive and fruit trees. The main house appears roofed and potentially livable with water and electricity, but its medium condition and unseen interiors make it more of a practical restoration project than a ready-made dream home.
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.
Our read of the photos, €350/m², falls in this band.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€16,000 – €27,000
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.
- No interior photos, so the stated habitability and condition of the rooms, kitchen, and bathroom cannot be verified.
- The roof and exterior plaster show age and may need maintenance.
- The small additional building is visibly in need of renovation, and parts of the garden are dry or untidy.
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 52/100The area is in the Anglona interior, with low volcanic and sedimentary hills, scattered pasture and cork-oak countryside. The Coghinas valley is nearby, and the artificial Lake Coghinas lies within the wider local area. Perfugas is the nearest small town of note, with everyday services and a historic centre; Tempio Pausania is the nearest larger town with a fuller range of shops and administration. This part of northern Sardinia is known for livestock grazing, cork production and rural nuraghe country.
