This is explicitly an ASTA IMMOBILIARE listing for a rural outbuilding on nearly 9 hectares, not a clearly legal residential villa. The €33,314 price (€476/m²) is irrelevant to the deal score because the auction and agricultural/storage-use risks trigger a veto.
More on the house and the area
This is a simple rural house in a beautiful wooded mountain setting, accompanied by an unusually large 8.96-hectare landholding and an attached oven. The structure appears roofed and usable rather than a ruin, but the interiors are extremely basic and dated, and the absence of a listed bathroom makes it a substantial renovation project rather than a ready-to-live-in home.
Decoration, tired fittings, a bathroom or a kitchen. The house is liveable as it stands.
Our read of the photos is €200/m². There is no published price band below €350/m², so the range is that figure widened by the spread of the lightest band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€5,000 – €8,000
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.
- Interior is very dated and appears to lack a bathroom or modern kitchen.
- Auction purchase requires legal and technical due diligence, with possible access and utility uncertainties.
- The building is rural and isolated, with no proven panoramic view in the photos.
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 72/100The cluster sits in the Lucanian Apennines, with wooded mountain ridges around Abriola and the high ground of Monte Volturino close by. It is inside the Appennino Lucano Val d'Agri Lagonegrese National Park. The nearest ski area is Sellata-Arioso above nearby Abriola, with the lifts a short drive away on the same mountain road system. Potenza is the nearest town of size, with rail links, hospitals, higher schools and the main services for the province. This part of Basilicata is known for forested uplands, summer mountain climate and winter snow rather than for a major monument town.
