What it really costs
See what needs doing and what each job costs
The 50 m² dwelling is completely to renovate, giving an estimated effective cost of about €2,500/m² (€70,000 purchase plus €55,000 renovation), versus a €493/m² Sardegna farmhouse baseline. The agricultural setting and 14 km distance from the sea add little value, so this is weakly priced despite the fresh listing.
More on the house and the area
This is a large, fully fenced agricultural plot with mature olive, fig, citrus and grape plants, offering genuine rural living potential near Sardinia’s coast. However, the small farmhouse is a very basic, heavily weathered renovation project rather than a ready-to-live-in home, and the agricultural structures are similarly neglected.
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€20,000 – €29,000
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 50 sqm residence is explicitly completely to be renovated.
- Interiors are utilitarian and cluttered, with no finished kitchen or attractive living space shown.
- Agricultural setting and existing structures may involve planning or residential-use restrictions.
- The land and greenhouse structures appear dry, weathered, and in need of substantial clearing and repair.
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 cluster lies in the Campidano plain west of Cagliari, with low hills and the Monte Arcosu massif within the surrounding area. The Cixerri river plain and the Santa Gilla lagoon system are nearby. Monte Arcosu is a WWF reserve and part of the larger forested uplands that continue toward the Sulcis mountains. Cagliari is the nearest city of size, with the port, airport, hospitals, universities and the main services of southern Sardinia. The area is known for agriculture on the plain and for the wetland and wooded upland environments on the edge of the metropolitan area.
